Build Thread for my 68 Coronet R/T Convertible

[1 Wild R/T]

"Burn through"...Man, I have been there before.
It takes patience and skill to make these cars look this good. Nobody I know just sprays and assembles a car. The standard went up over the years. When an unrestored car is parked right next to a base/clear with zero orange peel, the difference is night and day.

Yeah, but. this is Delstar Acrylic Enamel.....

Thank you sir !! I agree … it’s like all that work what the f…. Are we doing here? But in the long run it pays off. Right? Only this is,it takes away the UV protection but what the f…. Are they sitting in that parking lot every day at work?

You'll be too excited to sleep going forward. Every piece you bolt on looks great and inspires you to just bolt on another one. Then the next one. Looks darn awesome.

Silence!!! I need all the beauty sleep I can get.... And yes, I woke up around 0400 & couldn't go back to sleep.... But the car is still at Tony's place for a little longer...

Yes PP1, QQ1 & white is awesome.... I would have preferred something other than another red car... Never was a red fan.. But it is growing on me, as reds go PP1 is pretty stunning.... And every piece I add just makes it pop more....

The 68 Coronet 500 and R/T taillight panel is epic.

You've looked at how the reverse/ tail light works? Pretty cool.

 

[Kern Dog]

No, I have not. It isn't the innermost pod in each lens ?

Yes, they're clear in reverse, but red otherwise.

Yes, they're clear in reverse, but red otherwise.

Yup... The parking lights/brake lights are able to light the inner segment through a red lens but the center lens is clear and when the reverse lights are on it lights up white... Somebody was feeling pretty tricky that day...
