Hi Paul,
I have really enjoyed and taken an interest in your project of painting Lukesvette Targa Blue. (Love the color)
Sorry this reply is a little late but I have been out of touch lately. (Went to the Indy 500 then spent a week on a lake in Southern Ill away from computers.)
The pictures were great and I have a few questions. Did you replace the weather stripping?
Did you have to rebond the seams on the fenders?
My 72 has a rippling efect in front between the bumper and headlights. I assume this is from the rivits that hold the metal strip under there. Did you have the same issue?
Did you use a chemical to strip the paint? I have heard of a citris chemical that does not damage the fiberglas.
I have been following, on another forum, the repainting of a 72 back to Steel Cities Gray and they used this citris chemical. Does anyone else have info on this? Looks like a very painful process.
I would like to paint mine, but it is going to take a lot of fiberglas work. Besides they've got this recession thing going on. Maybe in a few years.
It looks like your project went very well and very quickly. Congratulations on a job well done. I know you will love the color.
Dean
Oh.......Did I mention I love the color.
