Starting to put on the shiny bits! I forgot to order exterior belt weatherstrip so I am trying to kill time while I wait for it to ship... Getting what I can done like blacking out behind the grille and the wheelwells (which were undercoated but are now gray primer lol)...

Here is the rear bumper and chrome. The bodyshop misplaced a piece of trim for the trunk-lock-flippy-thingy so I am witing for them to find it so I can reinstall the star. Otherwise the rear trim is on.

some more...

Tape and rags were everywhere and nerves were high but so far no oops moments!

Some more blingy stuff... I'm having trouble finding the barrel clips that hold the letters on the nose. I found the bigger ones for the fender stars and the Continental script on the flanks but the smaller ones seem elusive!

The bumper tomorrow. These things are freaking heavy - or I'm getting older - or tired this is 20 hours now (not on this car). I could've sworn when I took it off it didn't weigh as much.

Got all of the peak moulding on, and the front bumper and grille. Got the primer overspray off of the tires (my only negative from the entire paintjob), threw on the front hubcaps and drove around the block!

Maybe I can make Woodward!  Not a chance. Trying to find someone to install the windshield and back glass... I've called all the locals and no one want to do it. So it looks like I get to be the glazier!
