Just shot the rear spoiler and new reproduction 70 Cuda tail light bezels this morning with the Oraganosol... looks awesome.

The Nationals were awesome, and I came home with more then I thought I would buy... ugh!

I went to BE & A, and found the tail light bezels, and, a brand new AAR grill... complete with turn signals, pig tails, chrome trim, chrome inserts, plymouth badge, EVERYTHING, even shot in Organosol already...  this was an excellent reproduction made of black ABS, and it as priced reasonably. I'm packing my original up and putting it away. I couldn't resist, and lost sleep that night in the hotel room thinking it over...

when the sun hits the black, it has the nice sheen from the metallic in the paint.  The texture we are achieving is kind of like a sharks skin, but heavier... just a hair under the 320 sandpaper grit feel... I originally went to the Nat's to look at several AAR's and Cuda tail panels in person before we shoot the fenders and hood... there were only 6 AAR Cuda's there, and the hundreds of tail panels were all different.. I expected that. but after seeing the cars, I'm really happy with what we have. I feel it's correct, BUT WHO KNOWS! Right??!?! I'm doing my best.

It's looking good!
Could you post a shot of the underside of the trunklid where the outboard screws go through? I need to drill my trunklid for them....
