Hi Steve, looks great! Keep it up.
Could you supply a part number for the SEM?

Re: Home at last...
 

15013 . I bought some recently and it is not cheap. approx. $11.00 per can. But, if it works like Steve says - no problem. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

BTW: Mike Angelo (M22Mike) recommends this stuff too! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

The stuff is awesome. As an interior paint/dye, it matches the exact black that interior plastics and vinyls were produced in. I used it on the rubber T/A steering wheel, on the vinyl dash pad, on the plastic side panels. All you have to do is vary the distance from the object you are painting and it comes out flatter or glossier. (The closer you spray, the glossier it gets). On the fan shroud I just lightly misted from about a foot away and it blended right into the existing molded black plastic finish. I even used it on the metal part of the dash under the windshield to duplicate the flat/velvety dash paint.

I use it on everything - kinda like what the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, did with Windex. He used it for every purpose, on everything!

or like the old SNL commercial for Shimmer - it's a floor wax! No, it's a desert topping....

Fiddling around with some vintage parts I located years ago. These are a set of NOS Pontiac Trans Am mudflaps.

Lest you think I drilled holes in a brand new paint job, here is the method recommended by a friend in town who has a white, original paint 68 Shelby. He has similar white Ford mudflaps and has them held on when driving with these heavy duty Home Depot mini clamps. He's been running with this set up for a while now and hasn't lost a mudflap yet. I may paint the clamps black so they don't shine so much, but other than that they seem to hold the mudflaps in place quite firmly.

Re: Home at last...
 

After all the detail work youve done, please do not leave those flaps on.

Re: Home at last...
 

run them Steve just to iritate the heck out of people. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Or put on the ones that say "Gas Grass or A$$...no one rides for free!" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Home at last...
 

Very nice touch Steve. I remember those. Unique and I like it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Home at last...
 

I think they're very cool too https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Can't remember ever seeing them before, but they're a nice touch. IF you really like them Steve, then get rid of the clamps and install them for real. How 'bout using those plastic pan head plugs that are found on the ends of some door weatherstripping? NO screw heads showing and no threads to cut into the metal and feed the tin worm. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif
