    I'm sure the pictures are not doing it justice, but you can see all the tools on the wall in the reflection - so that's a good sign! It's going to be pretty sweet I can tell.

    Here's pictures from today.
    Whole car 3 staged cut and buffed.
    I'm not going to lie.. i didn't spend a lot of effort from the top body line down..

    There's a few flaws in it, but for what i want to do with the car it turned out awesome.

    Windows go back in tomorrow.. and I'll start adding more trim..

    Question.. how does the drip rail trime go back on?

    Does anyone have a set of door locks for a 63? I have a set of 62 and older but they're different.

    I guess the pin cover fell off one of the locks and the pins are lost..

    Gas Cap

    Hello, Nathan.

    I noticed that your gas cap has a Falcon emblem on it. Did you do that, or was it like that when you got the car?

    Can you post a close-up of it?

    Thanks, Dennis.

    Dennis,
    It was on it when i bought it.

    Its just hot glued or epoxied on..

    I personally would have drilled a hole and used a barrel nut or whatever the term is for the little clips that hold the emblem to the roof piller..
