Thanks for the votes......Black it will be.............anyway it is easy to change if I want to.  Mike I saw your picture..........and some of the other cc folks.  Good looking cars and owners...........I still think we need a thread with just the owners and cars to relate to when posting.

Just an update.  Haven't done a lot while waiting for  the paint guy to buff out my paint job.  Then I will have to pull the dash again and fix that small relay to get my oil and temp guages to work and then I can begin the interior reinstall.  I have drove it out the road and back a few times.  Tranny works well althought Ihave to add a little fluid.  The slapstick works,  Guess the neighbors will like it when I put mufflers on her too.......... :villagers: :villagers:

Slow this time. Waiting for denibbing of the paint.  So I did a little today........Reinstalled the splash guards behind the front wheels and tided up the trunk some......... My buddy brought his project over today.  Same painter, he is not completely done yet either............Now we have a Lemon and an Orange..............

Hey, Dave, glad you're making progress. A friend of mine from way back who now lives in Raleigh has a 69 Mustang as well, but he's still in the early phases.  His will be Gulfstream Aqua with a white interior.

Well. My paint guys started the nibbing process yesterday.   2000 grit and then to buff.   I hoped they would have buffed today but didn't . Have to wait a little longer.    I did order my bumpers today.  Auto Body Specialities finally got a shipment in.   Should be here next week.  I will post pics of them when they arrive.  Right now  pics of the dull finish, and a pic of my Cousins recent project.

Finished the paint buffing today.  Big difference in the texture and shine.   Now some more reassembly...
