The Hood had a bunch of stone chips on it from a couple years of Power Tours.....And ....everyone knows how that works out.......Now that the big stuff is finished and every time I looked at the car, all I saw was the stone chips.......So.......the car is at Pulera's getting the hood repainted, other little chips touched up.......then a good buffing......Then it's time to put some miles under it's belt......

It's been a while , update........Pulera's got the paint mixed and matched.......as long as they got it that close I decided to have them fix the passenger side wheel well area.......there was a spot (very small) where there was a paint adhesion problem (small bubble)......not a rust issue at all....But......Like everything at Pulera's......they don't do anything unless they do it correctly.....so....Before and after pic's............Should get it back next week so I can get some miles on it.......



After







They also repainted the top of the fenders that had a bunch of paint chips that I put in while installing the core support





Almost there..........

You should wrap the front end to protect the finish on your drives

Update.........The car is pretty much finished and we have taken it on a couple of short trips to check it out.......A couple of things needing improvement are getting rid of the rear leaf spring choppy ride (to be replaced with a 4 link Coil Over set-up) and the front seat.........We will be getting a split bench contoured foam seat and get it re-upholstered in original material to match......the stock seat is like sitting on a Park bench......LOL........Done but not &quot;Done&quot;......
