Got the hood and other parts painted, still have the spoiler and the windshield trim. Honestly, I plan to paint it tomorrow, but it's not going on the car until I get back. I found TONS of little spots in the paint (air pockets from the bondo) and the area where I glassed over the third brake light is pretty noticeable. Gotta take care of that and it's raining here, so the paint is taking forever to dry. The paint will flatten out in a bit, but for now it looks nice and glossy.
Also got a new door handle from the dealership. Let me just say they are night and day different from the ones at AZ or Oreillys. If I ever find any L bodys in the yard, I'm grabbing every handle.
Also got my steering wheel back and man he did a great job. I was a little leery because of the length of time it took for him to start it, but it was a really good job.

WOW!! That wheel looks AWESOME! Where did you get it done and how much?!
I got it done here, http://www.craftcustoms.com/. It was referred to me by someone in another thread, http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/sh...ion&highlight=. Still haven't put it on, just because I don't want to get it dirty.

I haven't talked to you in a while. I didn't know you were painting the car. It is looking nice.
I could have bought 25 Chrysler L-body door handles at a junkyard still in the package. I just bought one for $5+tax. I could kick myself now.
Kevin Isenberg EVERYTHING is for sale!
Here's today's progress.
Many thanks to Brian and Joy for putting up with me for two weeks. I honestly thought we could get everything done in one, but the task was just overwhelming. Still have some kinks to iron out on the car, but overall it is done. Can't wait to get home and just get it cleaned out so I can see what all I need to fix.

Any time Jon. We really enjoyed having you.

So Jon, did you leave Cordes' place in mid-conversation?
The car looks awesome...I really like the new satin look!

Well I had to get somewhere by the end of the day, so I left about noon with the car still missing some pieces installed. I got home last night and put the mirrors on and added a few screws to the back hatch area. Still need to get a lot of the interior molding installed, but the exterior (minus the windshield trim) is completely back together. Hoping to get it washed tonight and take a few pictures of it clean. I haven't even seen it clean since I got done painting it, driving me crazy!So Jon, did you leave Cordes' place in mid-conversation?

Thanks for comments, btw.

Glad to hear you made it home OK.
Gosh, forgot I still have a brand new leather wrapped steering wheel and shelby valve cover to install. BTW, I took a look at the one piece valve cover gasket we discussed and it definitely wouldn't work for my application. I was hoping it would, but too many risky points to damage the Shelby one during an install. Looks like I'll be doing a silicone job for now.

Or keep an eye out for an 89 CSX Shelby valve cover. They have the one piece gasket.
