----I've never seen that center mount smog pump set-up. Hate to try to find formed hoses for that, Bill! The clean up is going pretty smoothly. Looks great....Bill S

You’re amazing, Bill. Components that look hopeless turn out very nice with the proper cleaning. You’re just applying this theory to the entire car.
You must have a nice heated garage.

You turn out some amazing cars your self Tim!!

Yes, I am amazed sometimes what nice finishes are hidding just under a layer of grime, just waiting to be found!

With in floor radiant heat and A/C keeps one motivated to work!! I always said I wanted a garage with attached house! DD garage, shop and utility rooms are almost equal to footprint of the house. Don't have to go outside when it's cold!!!
Cars and tow rig are in a separate building.

Vinyl application...3M Di-Noc Dark Walnut. Di-Noc is actually mentioned in The AIM. A 5 yard roll was just right. I have always preferred dry application of vinyl, and fortunately dry is what was specified.

I started with the fenders and added the trim before moving towards the rear. Pretty straight forward, applied an adhesion promoter on edges and a heat gun to wrap edges. The fenders needed to be off to wrap the rear edges of the fenders and forward edges of the front doors. Also the fender trim clips are retained with nuts on the back side.
To have enough vinyl to properly wrap the gas door and opening required using a separate piece and line up the grain to match pattern.

Thank you Chris, it's actually somewhere between passion and insanity! I recently read an article titled "Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying", I'm definitely in the former, I've worked all my life, taking care of obligations, to be able to do this stuff full time.
