Steve that Red Oxide really looks great!! I sent a piece of floor to my jobber a while back and he mixed me a single stage red oxide that was a perfect match. Replicating factory seam sealer is an art. I have learned to walk away from it when I think I got it right. If I try to fix something that I think looks wrong it gets ugly real fast. BTW, Your car is really looking good. People don't realize how much work it takes to get that far into a project.
Chuck that 73 looks pretty solid. It looks like it was a vinyl top car and they are notorious for rust. I had to put a roof skin on KY Gold due to the rust under the top.

Thanks for the compliments Mark. I bought the car in 2004 where it had been a dedicated race car since 1973...not much left when I got it, but the shell sheet metal was really solid...but the front end/decklid were fiberglass and the doors had been cored-out. the LT1 was long gone as was the original Muncie, but the original COO rear is still there.
