I've got two of those K car drop tops. Best of luck restoring your's. I'm looking forward to getting mine all fixed up.

Pulled the huge buckle out of the passenger door today.
I ended up like I thought, have to weld a tab onto the body line and hook it up to the morgan knocker, aka big --- slide hammer, and while pulling hit the rolled out edge with my hammer, no biggy just time consuming.
More to come!

Nice project - the convertibles are extremely fun to drive.
Keep up the great work!
If you need ANYTHING that is convertible only I probably have it for any of the 1982-86 converts. Trim,interior,weatherstripping,etc. NOS or used.

The paint was transtars 'no mix' formula we are the first shop in south dakota to use this system. It works great, and the price is even greater. Mixed up a pint of W2 and it is mixed 1 part paint to 2 parts reducer so you get alot of bang for your buck, I did the underside of the hood and entire car body with just a tad over a pint of paint, at 30 bucks thats CHEAP! I used Transtars high end Glamor ClearOriginally Posted by wallace

Its thinner then what we typically used I sprayed transtar 7021, which is what I spray on everything at work, I figured I'd use the best of the best and see how nice I could get it to lay, the glamor is thinner so you can get it to lay a little nicer, less peal = less buffing and just looks better. I really wished I had this kind of experence and this clear when I did my daytona cause it looks better but oh well. As far as primers and sealers, I block sanded the cars factory paint, and feathered any peal, sprayed transtars polyester primer on it, very high build and great for blocking, then sprayed nason 421-19 primer and then wetsanded that, followed by transtar sealer, then paint then clear.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. More pics to come

looks good man, I just started painting my 86 600 turbo.
The car is 99% back together. I have to try and PDR, Paintless dent repair, the chrome trim around the convertible top, They have some good sized dents in them and figured anything I can do will make it look better. so we'll see how that turns out, as of now I have the car home and now to start on the interior, Anyone have any seats/carpet for sale? Also need to install the top, climate control and fix some engine oil leaks.
One thing I can suggest if someone else is restoring one of these style cars with the chrome trim, REPLACE the trim it make all the difference and it make the car look amazing! I even have some leftover Id be willing to sell pretty cheap, since it was either buy a 20ft roll or 60ft roll, and 30 vs around 70 its a no brainer.

Dude, car looks amazing!! Good job on the paint.
I just painted my 86 600 and was wondering how much you would sell the chrome trim for, just shoot me a PM.
Thanks
I don't know how I missed this thread. The car looks fantastic, Jack! Great work!

Windshield is in, along with the trim but I didnt take a picture of that quite yet. Now that we finally finished a deck on our house we can get moving along on the car and installing the new top, and now we have nothing holding us back.
