    Blackout Part 1

    Also here a few pics of the original 71 I painted a few years ago. I copied exactly where the factory blackout went to in the doors jambs. I’m pretty sure they changed them slightly in 72. Yours will go a little higher on the body since this car has the decor trim and yours does not.  You car is...

    Blackout Part 1

    paint opinion

    Satin Black and add the lower body stripes.... it helps break up the body a bit and looks great.  I almost painted my car white and really like the look on our body style.

    Took a day off work today and spent some time in the garage working on the 65.  Got it pretty much all put back together.  Still have the exhaust to finish up, some interior work, and it needs a good bath and cleaning.  It fit back together pretty decent.

    Anyone know how to get a Grant horn button to function and not just spew sparks?

    lol!! Good luck. I have removed many of those over the years.  Piss poor design.  Steering wheels are nice but their horn set up blows!!!
