Broke my 7UP Pop Machine today....

Well 5.5 weeks since I dropped it off and she's finally polished out. On to touching up some paint areas that I wasn't happy with in the back wheel wells and of course the shop owner is leaving for St Marteen tomorrow for a week so I'll finally get it back in April so I can get it finished up ffs. Thank god the Wife's trip to OZ/NZ fell apart for April...

Chock them front wheels!!! It's makin me nervous just lookin at that!
 
Not my problem.. LOL. Guess they've never dropped one in 40 years!

Good news, just off the phone with the shop owner. He got all of the paint blown in. Guys are cleaning it up tomorrow and buffing out the clear and I can pick her up Friday afternoon...
 
Long day, but it's Friday night wing night. One finished up for a customer and the other home for me to finally finish assembly on before Spring. Been a long stressful 1.5 years since this thing tried to kill me.

Hard to believe it's been that long already, Wayne! Good to have it home for good.

Getting parts ready to install and noted that the rear marker lights have been on the wrong sides for the 34 years that I've owned the car.

Cleaned up nicely. Great tape off job for paint. Zero overspray.

Mirrors cleaned up nice and new gaskets.

Trim time.

I suspect that Chrysler just expected the vinyl top to seal the push pin holes...but I made some gaskets to keep the water out.

Looking great Wayne. So I'm guessing a po or the factory installed them wrong?
