What color silver did you use for the roof?


Yes spraying the interior was a pain but matching the blue color was an even bigger pain. The local auto paint shop matched the blue by hand mixing. I feel they did a great job.

The silver is a 1989 Ford color.

The glass shop located an original Carlite windshield for me, which was not at all easy a dozen years ago. The quarter windows came from eBay at a time they were expensive but not astronomical. All the other glass is original.

I found a Carlite NOS windshield. I still need to do something about the door glass. My passenger door glass has what I think is weld splatter pitting on the glass.

Does anyone know if power window glass is the same as non power window glass??

Looks great! I can't wait to drop mine off to painter's jail.

It is! Great. I have located a guy here near where I live that has a set of doors with some nice glass. So I guess I'll go pick them up.

Hello.
Yes! I very short and sweet update. She got picked up on May 1st and since then she's been sitting under a cover in my garage. I just haven't had the time to dig in and get'er done. I'm picking up some odds and ends to help with the interior install and I've also been buying some new items to replace some of the worn pieces.

Can anyone help with a suggestion on what to do with my tilt column? With a pull on the top of the steering wheel it can drop down to my lap. Its as if the teeth on the tilt are worn. Can I just replace that mechanism or do I have to do the whole column? Any help is appreciated.

I do want to try and make Ripon this October!!

I have no recommendations for you on the tilt column, but the car is looking fabulous!

Awesome looking color and new paint!

NoDrama43 06-12-2017 09:47 PM

I would replace the entire column.

I'm glad you guys are liking the paint.
thank you for the info on the steering column.
