David G. Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Time for a little bit of an update Working occasionally over the past couple of months, I managed to get most of the trim foiled. I'm finding this a difficult color to photograph. This is pretty close to how it actually looks. Kind of a late 60's blue-green. I painted the silver inner trim frames on the tail light lenses with a tooth pick. As always, thanks for looking and feel free comment. David G. Edited September 30, 2021 by David G. Photos Restored
Scalper Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Very nice,. Police interceptor kit? nice job on the taillight,.. I have come to learn that toothpics are one if my favorite tools ever
66belair Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I love the color and the car,not many 4dr models out there.
David G. Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks for the comments. I have a little more foil work and some paint touch-up then polishing. Getting closer to being done. David G.
slusher Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Nice foil work and the tail light detail looks great..
Belugawrx Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Just asking what paint you used as your yellow .have tried a yellow on a daytona spider I'm not too happy with it but selection was very limited ? Deb
Stretch75 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Looks great...the matching steelies set it off for me.
David G. Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks Danno! Looks great...the matching steelies set it off for me. Thanks. I've got the rear dog dish caps ready to put on, but I may leave them off just for kicks. Too bad I don't have some snow tires.

It's Ford Chrome Yellow Duplicolor #BFM0363 Thanks Carl, the foil work is roughest part for me. I'm always happy when it comes out decently. Thanks to everybody for the encouragements. David G.
Stretch75 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks. I've got the rear dog dish caps ready to put on, but I may leave them off just for kicks. Too bad I don't have some snow tires. The rear snow tires would be great lol...I would put the rear dog dish covers on though...I love this build though no matter what you choose it looks good.
badcaditude Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Nice work. Looks like you've got a handle on your Airbrush. I've Owned two Airbrushes. Bought them new. Followed the Directions to the Letter. They didn't work. I've Destroyed two Airbrushes. Bought them new. No Directions for their Destruction. I Improvised. There wasn't anything salvageable. Speed, Gravity and Crash Landing onto Cement from three Stories up will put an end to pretty much anything. I'll never buy another. One was a Badger, the other... I don't remember and at this point... it doesn't matter.
David G. Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Minor update- I finished the foil yesterday and sprayed it with future. I used my new Paasche VL airbrush; much nicer to use than the cheap Central Pneumatic. The color isn't exactly what I intended, but I think it's beginning to grow on me. Now I'll wait about a week for the Future to cure, then buff it out and put it together and post the final results in Under Glass. As always, thanks for looking. David G.

David G. Posted November 5, 2016 Author Posted November 5, 2016 Due to all the Photo Bucket hassles, I've had to make some changes and update all the photo links. David G.

David G. Posted September 30, 2021 Author Posted September 30, 2021 Hello Everybody! As some of you may know, I've been going back over my old threads and updating old photos and replacing broken photo links. To say that there is a lot of work involved in such a project is a bit of an understatement. I've gone in and reedited the old photos to hopefully make them a bit more eye friendly and uploaded them again. This should be the last time I have to rescue this topic from the PhotoBucket Monster. Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy. Regards, David G.
