This one is for 74 models. What are the differences with 69?

On my side, not so interesting work these times.
But to prove that I'm not lazy :

One more pic, just for pleasure  :

Looks awesome!!...Not sure if this has been asked in the thread, but what type of orange did you choose in the end mate ?...ie BBO , Flame Red, Hemi Orange ?

Just curious

[PtitRaisin]

When I bought it, the previous owner said in the ad "orange general lee" painted in the interior
So my friend scanned the paint and reproduce it to the exterior.

This week end I sand blasted again :





I'm satisfied with the result.

[PtitRaisin]

Last time you'll see her like that :







I also re-do this L shape rubber part, but the original one was badly worn. So I don't know very well what to do.

[Baldwinvette77]

I know you can buy the quarter end caps and gaskets new, but I'm not sure about buying just the gaskets though.

You can always trace one using the quarter end cap and gasket making material.

Wanna see, or not??

Here we go !




Not yet...










TADA !!!

[Ghoste]

Niiice. 

[PtitRaisin]

Not just that have been done this week end.

My front grille shows some cracks on it.

I used some staples to insert in the plastic





I just have to sand down a little and put a thin mastic putty layer on visible areas.
A sweet paint on it, and voila!

Then, for the broken plastic parts, here is the solution I chose.






Refill with plastic bars.


The plastic will cool down quietly this night. I will just have to file a little and sand it to have a correct bracket.
