Was able to get some painting done last weekend. Doing what I can when I can seems to be the norm..

Finally finished up the taillights last night. Been quite a few years since these were fully assembled. More stuff to put on the "finished pile"

The taillights look great. In fact, all that you are doing looks pretty good. Thanks for the post. All this lies ahead of me for my 68 R/T 440 4 speed.

I would advise you to leave the front fenders off till after you get the motor in, etc.. So much easier than trying to keep from scratching them. I actually drove mine around the block a couple of times without the front fenders, grill, etc, just to make sure the motor and trans was good to go.

Yes sir, we think alike. Nothing is more nerve wracking than leaning over freshly painted fenders that have a lot of blood, sweat and beers invested.

Not to be picky, but the holes on horizontal portion of the valance are for 1969 back up lights. Other than that, I approve.

Finished up the sound/ heat deadener....
