And what's the plan for the vinyl?

I often use tape for the vinyl roof (see the 66 Buick I've postet) that works fine.
I have ordered a vinyl top kit from MCG(?) i would like to try.

I am not sure if you are aware of this but GM did not paint inner fenders body color. But, it is your vision and you obviously may do as you wish.

On my point of view, it looked strange with the body color painted inner fenders on the first sight and I was not sure, whether they still left the inner fenders black satin in the 70s. I think Bill proofed, that my feeling was right. If you have the chance to repaint it, it'll be not that bad. It depends of the original car, you'll probably will reproduce.

Dominik Weitzer
You are right. The inner fenders will be painted satin black. The original has a firewall in bodycolor, thats why i painted the hole enginebay first in orange.

...just wondering, where the pictures are gone on my mobile / laptop. Pictures from the engine are missing - it is completed and installed. also i built the interior together and only have to attach the seatbelts.
also...the chassis is completed

Sorry, i was busy at work and had no timeframe to upload the WIPs...

Not bad, not bad. A lot of details under the hood.

Wasn't hugger orange only available in 1969?

István Szücs
Chris, you are right! The hugger orange wasn't available in '68.

Hm, interesting. The reference is hugger orange...the owner told me the color. I've not asked, if it is repainted.

If you put a subsequent licence plate, it will be right, I think.

...a small progress here. only completed the interieur with steeringwheel and seat belts.

Looking good. Love that interior, especially the Hurst shifter

Bill Newcomer
Boy, you went all in on the engine detail. 🙂

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you Nigel and Bill ?. Much appreciated

Also on the last weekend I made all the trim and finally two layers of clear coat.
Next step will be to paint the black parts on the bottom of the body (again) and on the hood.
Than the vinyl top.

What a shiny coat!

Flawless paint finish! 👍

Yes James, the paint was awesome. But after a couple of days/weeks, the clearcoat cracked. I tried to repair the spots, but it was worst from step to step. so i decided (after my motorcycle crash because i can't build) to strip the hole body and start painting again.
That is what happens today. after sanding and filler, i layed the first orange on it. lets let it dray and it goes forward again.
