67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Not too much going on with the usual heat wave out here. However school starts tomorrow, and I got a plan. As it starts cooling off late September, we will get out there to work on it together when I get off work.
I leave 3:30. His older sis picks him up at 3pm and hangs with him till I get home, then it's off to the shop to work till the wifey gets home. So that gives us a solid 1.5 to 2 hours to get some work done every day, and progress will pick back up. May see about picking him up some work pants and work tee shirts for him to use out there with me
On a different note, we had some more paint go out of date at work. This is almost a dead ringer for 69 barracuda torch red. Its called shadow red. I have a complete 3 quart kit complete with activator and reducer. I will likely use this on areas not seen like floorpan, behind the dash on the inside firewall, inside the roof, around windshield and backlite seal areas, inside cowl etc. Going to test a spot next to a polished up spot of good condition OEM red still on the car at the trunk drip rail weatherstrip flange and see how close it matches.
