    Here is the clear.



    We got most of the car completed.  Ran out of time on Sunday.  Will start bringing home the rest of the car over the next 5 days.  Going to buff it out later in the month.  I am really happy with the results.  Special thanks to my two friends Tommy and John for letting me use their shop,their knowledge and overall support.

    I have been sanding and buffing the new paint.  Hood, trunk lid, header panel and both valences are next and finally get to start putting it back together.

    I'm real happy with the way it came out. My goal is to have it done for the Run To The Sun car show in Myrtle Beach next spring.

    "usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

    I have a question for all of you.  Going to assemble my doors next and not sure what to do about the door "wiskers".  I was given a mostly complete set.  I think they are from Year One since most of the stuff the previous owner gave me was from there.  I understand that the aftermarket ones use rivets to install instead of the screws.  I put them up against to see how the holes line up but they don't.  I checked it against another scrap door I have and it was the same.  Did anyone else experience this or do I just have a crappy set?  I saved all of the screws from the originals and thought I could just screw them back in but not a chance.   :clueless:
    Also, what's up with photobucket?  Do we have to pay now to use it to post on the website?

    Guess I will be the minority here... I personally like the side markers.

    Might be the wrong year, I ordered some for my 73 and got 70; definitely didn't line up.
