For anyone who has never met Steve or had any business dealings with him... he is as straight up a guy as you'll ever deal with! His shop is doing an amazing job on this car.
They spent this week polishing... |

3 coats color, wet-sanded with 800, followed by 2 coats 1/2 color/clear mix, wet-sanded with 800, followed by 3 coats clear, wet sanded with 800 and finally 2 more coats of clear. |

WOW that looks great! Steve is working on mine as well. It's not to the painting stage yet so I am tempering my impatience by enjoying your posts.
Thanks, James |

I'm glad I read your post. I was going with Adriatic on yours but if you want me to repeat what's on Tim's then Lucerne it is.

Steve corrected me in that they haven't done any polishing yet... The girls rubbing down my Judge live out in Beverly Hills (with some guy named Hugh). It's a bit far for them to travel, so I'll just let Steve's guys finish it up!

Continuing to pull things together for this car to stay ahead of Steve's progress.
I have asked this before and have gotten answers, but there is conflicting information on PY as to which is correct. Lucy is a '72 TA, 455HO, with A/C. Which of these radiators would be the right one? FH with CV and IA tanks... if this is right, where do I get the tags? FP with CV and IF tanks... I have a set of spare CV and IA tanks that I can have restored but want to be sure its right before spending the coin.
