I just spent a good part of my morning reading this whole thread and it is great!!! Very informative and was fun watching your trials and tribulations!
You went after each obstacle with determination and always found a solution. Hope it's still a ton of fun for you!!

I honestly believe the top and stripe were just part of the order initially but have no proof. I wouldn't restore the body until you want to loose all your hair, I had the most fun with mine when it was nice not super nice. I'll post the MCG article since I told you in our conversation that I...
Use the car as you see fit, I ask these questions because I'm passionate to this type of car. I owned a rather nice one myself, if your car is a disk brake car and track pack that may explain the 054. As far as mentioning Galen that name doesn't hold any water now a days, he ruined his own...
Did you check the date code on the 054 before rebuilding it to see if it's from your car originally?? 440 4speed 3.54 car should have an 055 Radiator. Also did you convert the car to power disk brakes??
Unless you have a Broadcast sheet proving me wrong.

I see guys commenting on the car being very nice etc... Where are you guys seeing this??? I haven't seen one picture of the car in this post except for a steering wheel and one engine shot????
Ron
Very sorry to hear of your Dad's situation. Spend as much time with him now as you can spare. Congrats on the car, use it as a tool to keep him in your Heart when he's gone.

Meant no disrespect on the armrests and I understand what your saying on the angle.
I mostly wanted to know because I heard the repro. one's are off in grain.
All my stuff is in excellent shape but is Black so this color change will happen in a couple of weeks I hope!!!
Ron
Magnes are the front door armrests aftermarket? I see the color difference a little but how is the grain.
My left one was bad but I bought a Black NOS one I plan to dye with the rest of the stuff.
The color match looks right on with the uppers, were the uppers dyed too or new Legendary.
Ron
I never order parts from "the big box stores" Year one and Classic since you can get whatever they sell from manufacturers. I buy from Dante for interior since he gives a better discount than Legendary usually. I have a new carpet in the basement waiting to go in along with complete interior...
BTW the bottom of your column should remain steering column color. I see you stopped the Burnt Orange and painted it black, that's incorrect for a restoration.
Ron
Hey Magnes,
I forgot you were doing a White interior too. Do you think a quart is enough for all the interior plastic and metal trim? Also what does it have on the can for a code. I plan to do the same thing in the next few weeks and want to follow along with you since you'll be done spraying...
Magnes it was cool talking to you via PM the other day. We are kinda in the same spot since I have to do my interior too. I'm changing from Black to White interior because like I told you I'm mimicking my first SSP. My car was damaged by the shipper on it's way here from AZ. so I'm a couple of...
