I finally got to the T Bird.
I originally thought this one was in pretty good shape.
but after the paint was stripped... This is the worst oxidation I’ve seen yet.
A little Lime-Away and elbow grease.
The replacement hood fits nicely, but it has scratches.
It fits pretty good to the grill. I had to file down a few imperfections around the hood.
Red paint.
The scratches seem to have repelled the paint. I’ll end up stripping the hood to get rid of them, but I finished painting the car anyway.
I can’t tape off the roof for a day or two, and I need to order some more wheels.
In other news. I tried to fix the dented roof on this old Lesney.
I feel like I did a good job. I can’t believe how close I got the paint color.
The windshield is a bit broken, but it has a dog in the backseat so it was worth the effort.
Thanks for checkin out my stuff.
