I’m not changing the color. Keeping it Granada Gold! Going to paint the stinger black and thinking of painting the tail panel black too like a factory big block car.

Cool! I remember reading the flat black was to reduce glare and the rear panel was actually a glossier black. Car is going to look mean standing still!

Thanks! I bought it from heartbeat. I believe it’s made by, at least sold by, OER. The scoop was already cut! Nice heavy lay up on the fiberglass.

Nice straight car!

Yesterday the painter prirmered it with the aforementioned PPG Epoxy Primer. Looks great! As expected we can see a few more dings and imperfections so it's back in the body shop. The body man will block the panels and fill in the low spots. The car will be back in the paint department soon enough getting more primer for blocking. This baby is going to be STRAIGHT!!! Makes it easier when the car is in pretty good shape to begin with...

After primer we noticed the car had some more small dents that we didn't see before... standard. We pulled the car back in the shop and used "metal glaze" on the affected areas. This car has very little filler. The car was then rough blocked and is already looking that much better! The car is all original sheet metal with date code stamps throughout except the header panel and right fender. Both are NOS GM pieces.I did notice a few very small differences in the NOS fender versus the factory fender but the factory fender was just too far gone from a nice whiskey dent in the front. My body guy insisted he could fix it, which I'm sure he could, but it wouldn't be 100%.

Coming along nicely. 1968 doors?
