Eric and I wet-sanded the body shell, and he did the initial buffing.
One more buff to do, with the doors and trunk lid getting wet-sand &amp; buffed on Thursday.

Still have to paint the fenders, and the front valance also, which is a different gloss black on the 300 Deluxe cars.
Lastly I still need to find a good original GM SS hood.

I am so impressed with this build, lots of differences to other builds, such as painting some items later than others. Lots of builds you see so much time spent painting everything at once. I assume a big difference is colour match on colours other than black?

PS check E-mail, if needed I can transport your date code rims in November.

Doors and trunk lid are done and ready to hang, but we still need parts for the frame to get assembled, and the powder-coater got it all done faster than he said by a week.

Got the floor underside and firewall prepped and now in the satin/semi-gloss black.

Once again your doing an excellent job on that old beast. I look everyday for up dates. If this car makes it to mcacn this year your gonna have to get security guards to get me away from it lol. Big thumbs up buddy for keeping us updated!

Re: Black L78 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Found
 

Looking Fantastic.....the paint and bodywork is very exciting.....but I really enjoy the frame and rolling chassis resto, it gets me GOING! Fun!

The Frame looks Great Rick [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Mike,
No MCACN this year, but I do want to have it there next year.

I'm looking forward to the frame build also.

The exciting hanging of trinkets on it comes soon. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

It's not me, it's the bodyman Eric who is very efficient and keeps the push on. This guy has boundless energy. We were wrapping it up for the night on Thursday at 11pm because I was tired and told him so, and he says &quot;It's such a nice night, lets keep going until we get the bottom and firewall painted.&quot;
I can't complain, I'm just in awe sometimes as he rolls along.

Tore the rear end down to get ready for a rebuild.
Just like I was told by some of the Detroit guys that knew Cowboy, it has a 4.56, GM part yet.

What kind of a Locker would this be?

Is that a mini spool. My 300 has got a GM 456 ring and pinion in it with what looks like the same posi. Mine has two Capital L's engraved in it. I thought it was a mini spool
