True dat, Brother D!

Another 3hr masking job and the floors and trunk are ready to go! Black sealer first since this is what the exterior will get too. Seems FC7 likes the dark primer base better than the light gray. Less streaks.

One will notice the trunk latch painted. That's correct for Mopars. Also, I installed the bolts on the trunk latch mechanism so they get painted too. The latch mechanism isn't installed, rather, a bracket is installed where that goes which.... probably with a piece of wire... will hold the trunk down when the guys on the line painted the exterior. Since my underside and trunk is painted along with the jamb, the trunk will remain closed when I paint the exterior but to simulate the correct look afterwards, the latch mechanism bolts are installed and painted.

Engine bay tomorrow! Think I need more FC7 and clear.

Cheers
Dave

Thanks, Guys! Just went out to unwrap the masking paper. Man, nothing like the feel of fresh clean on a car. Has a similar feel to Christmas morning with a new toy! Refreshing to see paint!

More tomorrow!

Cheers
Dave

Actually, the trunk latch could be painted or unpainted depending on the build date of the car. It was a change to the paint procedure during the '70 model year. Same with cowl blackout. But if you found evidence as to what was on yours, that's cool.

See? That's what makes you my idol, Jim. It's the details like that! Didn't know that about the 70 trunk latch and yes, mine was painted. Did they use a different hook or something? Wonder why the change. I have that factory diagram about the cowl blackout, and mine had it from what I can tell by the sleuthing I did. Any idea when it stopped being done on the cowl?

Engine bay painted! Might do the door jambs tomorrow but I'm on call the next three days, then out to Taylorsville, IL to get my Flight Instructor rating reinstated. Been trying to do this for almost a year and the latest fiasco was this stupid cough. But so far it's a go! Plus, I need another gallon of FC7 and the paint shop was closed today.

More to come!

Cheers
Dave

OK Dave, time for another novice question. I noticed that the holes in the firewall are masked off from the inside. Would something like this have been done at the factory or would they have let the paint fog through those holes into the interior? Or maybe there was something in those holes when it was painted?
