Thanks! so is my wife. :laughing7: I'd be happy if either one had the paintjob on your GTX. :) When you complete the bodywork on a panel do you spray it each time or can you use rattle can primer to protect it from flashing. It takes a bunch of time setting up and cleaning the spray gun...

Thanks! To answer your questions... I don't think I'll have to replace panels on this project (other than the floor which I've already done). Eventually, I'll get to the convertible and it will likely need panels, but that is down the road. I would like to sand down to bare metal...

I am looking for a little advice before I get started on the bodywork and paint on my Belvedere. There is a lot of advice and instruction out there on how to do the work if you are in a shop or can essentially go from start to finish continually, but my reality is I'll be able to do a panel at...

Damn. I should know "if it's too good to be true..."

What is the tacky material used to adhere the plastic backing behind the door panels? It doesn't solidify and seems to remain sticky. I lost too much when the old stuff was removed to just reattach new plastic. Thanks, Jon

Could it be for a rear defogger switch? I don't know how often this option was available and where the control was located. -Jon

I'm getting ready to install a new headliner in my 67 post car, this model has the gripper teeth all around the edges (front, back and sides). In this case, do I still need to use glue to install it? Thanks, Jon

Finally got a lift to stack the Belvedere's and make a little room in the garage. Tight fit, but it makes an imposing picture. :)

That red interior caught me by surprise. :) -Jon

Taillight extensions and trunk are different as well. Front bumper in a 66 doesn't have parking light holes either. Jon

I'm working on the interior of my 67 Plymouth Belvedere I and am trying to decide where to go with it. The car was originally blue interior/white exterior and that just doesn't work for me. Blue kind of limits the exterior color options. So I thought maybe I'd go with black and leave the...

That's like asking if you desire blondes or brunettes. :) The resale value, competitive market and re-pop parts availability are likely to be less however. For some of us that like the challenge and uniqueness it makes them more desirable.
