67 Fastback GT 390

[LSTCUP]

here's my fastback that I've been working on over the last couple of years, finally laid some paint to the under carriage a couple of days ago, I decided to go body color, Dark Moss Green, I used Imron paint, base clear, this paint is tough...

 

[AzPete]

Nice. Have not seen many use Imron for years. The Air Force use to use it on aircraft struts.........I did a '63 Chevy truck and a '65 Impalla SS in white way back in '76-77. That is some tough paint when done right,

Nook very nice. Sure a lot of 67-68 green fastbacks around here!

Nice work, looks great!

 

[Fast68back]

Is it going to be green?..... Nice!

 

[LSTCUP]

Yes, original color Dark Moss Green, the engine compartment will be Black Imron, and the rest acrylic lacquer.

True... but I don't think any of them are the dark moss green... it's funny how the dark moss green is actually brighter than highland green.

That underbody looks really nice...

theres an undercarriage you could eat off of :thu

finally got color :yah the lacquer set up quicker then we wanted, thinners aren't what they used to be, water sanding all weekend...

we did a test sand and polish Friday on the 1/4 panel, gonna look nice.

WOW, that looks great!!! straight lacquer? I thought lacquer wasn't available for autobody paint anymore?

That's gonna look sweet... lookin forward to seeing pics of it all polished out.

 

[70_Fastback]

Wow...!

That under carriage is awesome! Looking forward to seeing the polished pictures as well Gary!

 

[LSTCUP]

first round of polishing, going to let it sit in the sun a bit, then polish some more...

 

[70_Fastback]

some progress pics

brought it home a few weeks ago and slowly finding time to put it back together, so far I have ruined two repro trunk lid moldings, they're a Bitc& getting it to pop into the clips without bending it!

 

[70_Fastback]

Looks awesome Gary!

 

[Fast68back]

Is it just a overly deceiving picture, or do the valve cover bolt to both the head and manifold? Looks amazing either way!

 

[Grabber70Mach]

Looks like a Ford FE series motor. The pushrods run through the intake and the top of the valve cover bolts to the intake.
