The devil is in the details

Great work. When spraying the metal window frames, did you remove all of the rubber seals? If so, did you replace them with new ones or were you able to reuse the old ones? I have heard that new examples are a pretty penny... curious to hear of your solution.

Luckily my rubber seals and felt were in good shape, so I did not have to source new ones.

I've seen one with the grey split grille but I don't think I've ever seen the rest done like that. It's going to look great.

Thanks Chris,

I am looking forward to having her back together. Maybe I can stop by on my way up to Louisville. I promised the guys at the body shop that I would bring her back up when done.

This is one of those colors that looks the best in person. Have a friend with this combo in a C2S and it one of my favorite cars and colors. Pics just don't do it justice. Car looks great Emerald, keep the updates coming!

That would be great. Also, I'm originally from Bowling Green and will be there this summer so maybe we could meet up.

Thanks Emerald. Did you remove them to paint the frames? Any tips on removal and reinstallation?
