Thanks for the tips / suggestions I trimmed the BMF before I sprayed the primer. I've painted the front grill still need to do the back I had to double check the back grill to see what color to use but from my reference pictures it will be red with black around the outer edge of it. By the way if anyone is interested there is a 68 - 4 door LaBaron with 32k on eBay buy it now for $22,800 and from the pictures it looks like it should be on the show room floor. Great pictures for getting the details for my build.
