Best memory this year with the '69 was it's maiden voyage this year back around March. 3 generations of "Bill's" took the car out for an hour or so. Great feeling for sure.

Close second was having it featured in the Invitational Display at Carlisle.

She looks gorgeous.  Did you get it in that shape or was elbow grease involved?

Would have to be my trip cross country to the CEMA 2011 car show in Auburn Hills MI and traveling Route 66 to see some old friends and meet some new ones along the way.

Besides the new tires it's the way she arrived (the repro bias plys were over 15yrs old and the sidewall separated on a cruse). Lots of little things to do. Fix the radio, few bulbs and switches on the dash, go through the carb.

Bias plys are nice, unless you want to drive it.   :D

Looks like very minor things, at least you can enjoy the car why playing around with those issues, that's kinda what I'm doing as well.

What's the problem with the radio?  Had some experience with those not too long ago...

Bill 440 - Nice color choice!   when we do our re-spray next month we will change the flat black hood blackouts to gloss as we add the proper bumblebee tail stripe in gloss as well!   :cheers: :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:    what is the back end like on yours??  do you have it gloss black around the lights? :scratchchin:

I did the tail light panel in textured semi-gloss black as original. I just prefer tail panels semi-gloss, not full gloss.  R/T stripe is gloss black TAPE STRIPE as original, not painted on. '70's had gloss black tape R/T stripes as well.
The V21 hood stripes originally would be black textured Organisol as well, I just chose to do it in paint & bury everything under clear for a seamless graphic. That's how I wanted it. On a modified car pretty much anything goes, it's all up to you.

Thanks Bill! :cheers:  That's how ours sits right now with the flat black pain on the tail panel, so we'll most likely freshen that up but leave it simi-gloss.  already looked into the R/T stripe and plan to hit the hood gloss.  I like how you painted the vents on the hood around the windshield as well.  I see the NJ plates, we're in CT but Hope to visit Grandparents in Central NJ next summer!   :2thumbs:

Central NJ? Smack dab where I'm at.
BTW, not to hijack this thread at all, but in '69 that's how the V21 was painted. Here's a pic of an original car.
OK, now let's get back on topic!  :2thumbs:
