Very nice! Were you able to find a [wide seam] boar grain green vinyl top?

Yes, but it's way too expensive plus it's not 100% resto so the thinner seam top will do.

I was able to get the grille cleaned and painted, just need to get the hood trim straightened and polished.

Don't forget to black-out the rad support....Looking good, how about a shot of the whole car ?

It was actually in great shape to start with. I cleaned it up really good with degreaser and carb cleaner. taped it off and sprayed it. The taping part took a few hours. I actually still have to clean some lines up with some thinner. The light bezels where the hardest. I hade to knock out a bunch of dents and sand a polish it.
