I like it Joe.

And I know what you mean on trying not to make it perfect. It's very hard to hold back like that. In either case...stellar job!

I got the car back last evening & took some pictures this morning. These are more pictures of the tail light panel with the hand made flaws as the factory did. The last picture is looking at where the tail light comes through the body. Almost every car I looked at that was original had very little black paint on the upper lip. Possibly as to not get black paint on the bottom of the trunk lid..Joe

Beautiful work Joe. I'd say you got it dialed in just right.

I am sure you're real happy to have it home and will be following as you start putting it all back together. Congrats!

Thank you Graeme. I am glad to have it home. I'll start back to work on Monday. I'll post some more pictures in a while. Grandson is here. Don't get nothing done for a while..Joe

Here's a couple of pictures of lines that are not well defined. Since the car has no wheel lip chrome it had to be determined how those lines in the wheel well would end. How it actually happened may've been determined by who had the tape in their hands...Joe
