72 TA : New Project

Close ups on the outer perimeter:

On an ironic note, with these flaws it is probably as close as you can get to the factory poor build quality of the original stripes! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Looks awesome!

Got the shaker back on yesterday. I applied the decals and set her back on top of the air cleaner once again. Everything actually works!

Now I'm just waiting for the polyethylene valance to get prepped and painted. That's all that's left. I already have the lower spoiler waiting around impatiently, wanting to be on the car.

Man that car is stunning; and I thought it looked good before the restoration.

[njsteve]

If you knew how much money I've put into it in the past 6 years you'd be stunned, too! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Thanks for the compliment [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

We'll see what it reaches first: 100,000 views, 100 pages or $100K into the resto! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Steve, all of your hard work has finally paid off. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Have you got plates for it yet, or are you going to park it in the family room for a while? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Why would you be surprised that it works? It's built to better than factory specs. For all your attention to detail, it better work. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img]

Plates? Heck, it's been registered for 6 years now with the New Jersey QQ historic plates. I just havent been able to drive all of the car at one time. Though I have driven various parts of it over the years as I assembled it.

There's nothing like sittin' on a milk crate while driving a shell with no front sheetmetal, up and down the driveway for half a decade pining for the day when I could actually see a shaker in front of me and not a radiator cap! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Looking great Steve! Can't wait to see it in person. So now that it is almost complete are we going to see another project thread [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]
