The green tape I find is better and it is more expensive also. But what price can you put on a lifted paint.

Re: 1968
 

Mustard, low elco, super C10 tex
I never tried 3M tape guys so I can't knock the product. I have used blue or green painters tape and it work. I have to double it up though. twice the tape is still cheaper. I did not get to work on the old girl today. I had to do some electrical wiring for my daughter.
Got to do a little honey to do list for her. Isn't kids wonderful?

Re: 1968
 

Today I received a top notch ash tray from a fellow board member. I sand blasted it and painted the inside gray. I will paint the front tomorrow.
also I sand blasted and painted the radiator cover. I remember why I sand blast in the winter boy was it hot under the hood.

Re: 1968

Today I tried to install the windshield but failed. But I did install the rear glass. I would like to have both but, at least it was a wash out as far as the glass goes.

Re: 1968
 

I hurt my back trying to install the windshield, so that' s why I stopped. got to look at some more video's on installing that thing. But now I have to wait for a few days to let my back heal.

Re: 1968
 

Today I had a Dr's appointment for my back. After I got back I installed the turn signal switch level. I for got to install it when I put it together. Then I mounted the radiator cover and painted the sides of the truck under the hood black. They were orange and they just didn't look right. Now they all match the engine compartment. What do you guys think. Then I fished the dome light through the opening for the light. Tomorrow I will mount the grill whoops and front turn signal lens and other lens.
Let it snow only kidding guys.
