'74 Gold Duster

Had to see it out in the sun today, also got some trim put back on so it'd look a little better.

It will look even better after you wash it a few times. Is that single stage or base/clear? The metallic looks like it flowed out nice!

:thumbsup:
It is some older cheap single stage with wet look hardener I had kicking around. Probably get wet sanded and buff tomorrow (has a little orange peel to it).
 
Now down to the fun stuff, not lol. Also got the door seals on, they're not the worst for the price.

Looks great ! What you’ve accomplished in the amount of time you’ve spent is something to be proud of. Can’t go wrong with that color too !
 
It has interior once again, eventually the front seat will be recovered. If anyone with a '73+ is looking at an REM package tray I'd measure it before install, this one ended up being 1 1/4" too wide and busted the ends off the c pillars in no time. Isn't too hard to shorten and glue the vinyl back to it at least.

Round 2 of trying to get this thing to look decent, hopefully this turns out better.

Got it almost all finished today, still waiting on the stripes and to decide what wheels to stick on it for now.

Finally got the correct tail stripe and installed it, also got it buffed today so hopefully will have time to wax it tomorrow then it is done for a little bit. Probably go through the brakes at a later date.

Ended up having to repaint the hood (the guy who was buffing it sucks, aka me). But it's all done for now and back home. Eventually I'll probably go through the front suspension, give the brakes a once over then recover the front bench seat.

Changed it over to the rallye wheels until I find a set of SBP Cragars for it.
