    Shine On

    I suppose I got tired of looking at the dull wet sanded finish on the front fenders. So I polished them and the area where the left windshield and roof meet, where I'd done a repair a few years ago.

    Other than these 3 repair spots the paint is as it was sprayed in 1999. Now I gotta polish the rest of the body panels to match. Ya, I don't work too fast.

    The primer grey is long gone Barry. If the 69 woulda made it to Glen Rose or Clinton, you'd have seen the primer was painted over.

    🤣🤣🤣 Yep. Might just have to cut and buff it.

    Just gone for five days, our friends came back with us so we're just hangin' for a few days.  Think I'll check on the machine work and maybe start tearing down a 4R70W later in the week.  Car looks good, Bob.  How's the T3.5 project coming?

    Re: Shine On

    I've got all the parts collected for the hydraulic clutch. Need to get some compatable rods for the Hurst shifter. Once I replace the radiator in the BMW (today or tomorrow) I'll get the 69 in the air and remove the fmx. Then I need to take the flywheel to the machinist to balance it to the current flex plate, as metal was added to it when the motor was balanced back in 2001.
