Thanks Edouard.  Part of me wants to stay home and keep working on the 65, but I never pass up a family vacation.  If I'm still awake after the late nights at WDW, I'll check in from time to time.  I promise!

"Maybe Loren and 65GS.com should sell tickets! . . . . "

  Now there is an idea.

Final pictures before I travel.  The dash "unmasked".  Drain ports installed in the floor and trunk.

That's all folks!  More pictures after I return.  John, just for you, expect to see Verde Green!   

Hope you all survive the snowstorm.  For once it missed us here in Michigan.

Maybe you guys can hook up and visit together.  Double the fun! 

I'll be in touch when I return.

I've found the correct SEM vinyl dye at our local auto body paint shop for the dash pad.  And please reconfirm, are the kick panels the color of the dash or the dash pad?
Chuck

Sorry to take so long. Kick panels are the color of the dash. NOT the pad.

Back in sunny Michigan....until tomorrow when I will once again be soggy.   

Took advantage of the nice day to get my rear axle blasted and primed.  I also visited my car at the painter's and, as expected, it is now in color.  It's in the process of wet sanding the clear, so the pictures below look more gray than green.  Except the shot from the rear, where you can see more of the Verde Green.  When it is rubbed out, I'll show you what Verde Green really looks like!

Ordered fuel tank, sending unit, etc. and hope to start assembly of the chassis soon after painting parts and frame in GM Chassis Black this week.

Looks sooooooo good!!!  Did you guys use ppg dbc base/clear? I am curious what was the ppg number is for verde green.  My 66 convert is verde green

Thanks guys.  The paint used was Nason base/clear.  I'm told that Dupont sold their auto paint business to Axalta, who rebranded it as Nason.  We'd use PPG, but don't have a local source. 

Chuck

[66nailhead]

Yep they did. It's hard getting used to calling it Axalta. I've used DuPont /Nason  for many years. It's very good paint. In fact I'm using nason on a willies jeep restoration I'm doin at home. At the collision shop I'm at we use ppg.
Can't wait to see your car buffed out.
