Thank you. Its very close to sublime but off just a bit. I wanted a shade that wasn't quite the same as everybody else's. After two days of looking through chips at the paint store I finally found the perfect shade. Signal Green :glasses7:
Been working on all the trim. Only did half the piece to show the before and after. There is a LOT of buffing to be done on the trim but its worth the time.
Yeah, there is a car show on my birthday next month here in my hometown. I was trying to have her ready for the show but it don't look like we'll make it this year. Its a possibility the paint will be on her but the interior and under the hood won't be where it needs to be by then. Oh well...
Finally have all of it in black primer now. Still have some body work to do but we're getting there.
Since we got the car we've been trying to decide on a color. We were able to decide on green but I never knew there was so many shades of green. After months of looking (and bickering) haha...
I was able to save the windshield seal. it looked pretty bad when we pulled it out but I was able to get it cleaned up. The rear window seal was too far past gone.
When we pulled out the windshield there was a rusted through place in the bottom driver side corner. Lee was able to cut the bad...
Thought I would share some of my restoration pics of my '72 Scamp slant 6. Found her about three months ago on Craigslist. Went to the Tennessee/Alabama line and got her. Been at it every day since.
How I found her
Long drive home but finally made it.
Few places of surface rust but nothing...
Having fun with my first restoration. I've helped others but never had my own to do :blob:A lot of tedious work and a few setbacks but its all coming together now. :burnout:
I know this is an old thread but you don't by chance remember where you finally found these clips do you? I could be overlooking them but I've checked the websites posted above without any luck.
thanks
Hi guys, I'm not sure of the actual name of the piece I am looking for. I need the piece of aluminum trim that runs along the rocker panel as well as the clips. Its for a '72 Scamp.
Thanks
