It's been a while , update........Pulera's got the paint mixed and matched.......as long as they got it that close I decided to have them fix the passenger side wheel well area.......there was a spot (very small) where there was a paint adhesion problem (small bubble)......not a rust issue at all....But......Like everything at Pulera's......they don't do anything unless they do it correctly.....so....Before and after pic's............Should get it back next week so I can get some miles on it.......



After







They also repainted the top of the fenders that had a bunch of paint chips that I put in while installing the core support





Almost there..........

From here it looks like a perfect match, they do some nice paint work.

Update.........The car is pretty much finished and we have taken it on a couple of short trips to check it out.......A couple of things needing improvement are getting rid of the rear leaf spring choppy ride (to be replaced with a 4 link Coil Over set-up) and the front seat.........We will be getting a split bench contoured foam seat and get it re-upholstered in original material to match......the stock seat is like sitting on a Park bench......LOL........Done but not "Done"......

Very nice Ken.

I was thinking with real estate it's location, location, location.....
with our cars it's refine, refine, refine!!

Update.........I ordered a Glide Engineering seat for the car........the stock seat is like sitting on a Park bench..........and after driving coil spring cars for a while, I forgot how bad leaf spring cars ride.........ordered a 4 link Coil-over set-up from RideTech...........which means I also had gas tank clearance issues..........a new Ricks Tank is on its way.......which means I have to remove the spare tire well...........LOL.......it never ends......but....in the end it will be a car with all the creature comforts of the other cars and the drivability to do Road Tours..........The A/C unit cools the car very well..........no Problems at all.....The lower control arm bushings on the front suspension were in pretty bad shape.....so , I bought new upper and lower tubular control arms and they will be installed next week............Never ends.........But.....I know where I want to end up........so......LOL.....
