I can remember there have been problems with reading these tapes before, the coin would be more exact.

I should have know better here is my coin to tape measure cross reference.

I'll give you half a dollar for that bicentennial quarter

That's about what will be left for living after the paintjob.

That was all I had left after Chistmas and my unpaid (because I'm self employed) vacation. I will be working the rest of the month for paint money.ainting_pink:

Sold! I hadn't noticed that it was a bicentennial quarter until after the photo. Just change out of my pocket.

 

[polara71]

Good, put it away until Carlisle and I promise to double your money.

Here is some more photos of the work I did today. I have removed nearly all the trim now including a bumper and a fender.

Yumpin Yimminy, you just got new wheels and shoes and your taking her apart?

Was my thought as well. Put on the old ones if you still have them, they tend to leave traces of overspray on them in the paintshop.

I couldn't get that stinking 300 specific trim off the front fender and it was recommended to take the fender off to help assess in the process. After all that I am still going to have to drill out one of the screws. It is not accessable from behind either because of reinforcement of the fender in that area.
Alot of work for 3 screws.

Good Idea!

Yes it is but you'll be happy you did it

I just started removing the trim from my '66 Newport. Many of those white nylon clips used on the upper trim were very brittle and I wound up breaking a lot of them. I am trying to find somebody that has NOS clips. I will let you know if I find anything.

Thanks but I'll help you out, Murray Park has them. Take pictures of them with a "coin" or tape messure reference. He sent the wrong one originally to me.

Makes me wonder in amazement how they did things like this on a fast paced line, over and over, hour after hour, day after day....
