If you are using the Moto PEN, make sure you have the tip "soaked" and make one pass if you can. if you go back over it to "touch it up" it could cloud up the shine. Experiment with it, doesn't take long to become an expert. This is great stuff

Had the radiator boiled out
Then I spent 5 hours and Straightened the fins using wooden sticks and tweezers.
Sprayed with Catalyzed Enamel color matched.
All the pulleys, motor mount cups, and power steering brackets.

Not too bad for a first shot... I thought the runs in the corner may have to be fixed, however after looking at a few low mile trunks I saw the same patterns.

Looking good.

Awesome attention to detail James, as ever.

The interior kick panels and rear inner side panels.
Also the roof rail weatherstrip retainers and the foam seal for the "gap" originally they have a similar seal installed at the factory... these eliminate the wind noise and sealing issues which plague many restorations.
First gens use a polyurethane saturated foam seal, not the wider black foam of the 2nd gens.

Picked up a nice low mile (12k) 1973 model Z28/L82 take off - intake - original carb, EGR 7040299, TCS vacuum solenoid, and idle stop solenoid.
The cover on the divorced choke spring has an AZ ink stamp and the Idle stop Solenoid has a
DP1997409 ink stamp.
This was one of the last LARGE items I was in search of...

Will this beauty be for sale when it's completed?
