I haven't done much of anything to it ,money has been tight .I have an end of the year bonus coming so i will be starting on it again soon .
I sanded the package tray smooth in the trunk area ,it was just raw fiberglass .I found a spray texture at Home Depot for out door furniture ,comes in several colors ,i am planning on spraying the back semi gloss black texture .I already sprayed a test panel and i like the way it looks ,kind of like the texture on the interior panels .

I would stay away from the TT 2s myself. They look good but everyone does have them. Mine are similar to TT but just diff enough to tell made by Coys. I like those wheels you chose but am a fan of a little taller wheel like maybe a 17". I think with the size of the wheel wells after 66 needs at least a 17". My 2 cents worth.
BTW looking great so far, keep pics coming.

i will on occasion, blast the outer panels ,if it is the origional paint with nothing on top of that. i stand back about 4 feet and hit it in an angle moving the nozzel back and forth quickly not allowing the sand to hit in one spot very long,and not tryng to get every thing off such as the origional primer .that i then D.A. off. i recently did a 67 fb.that the guy blasted .he got it spottless but warped the crap out of the roof, quarters, and tail panel, and i had to replace all of it. i wonder about the bed liner i sprayed. some day someone is realy going to **** about it because i dont think it will come off at all.

I'll be having my '66 coupe blasted soon; I'm so glad I read this beforehand. Now I know what not to blast. Glad to see you're back at this project.

I got out the rear housing this morning. I have narrowed this to the width of a 65-66 ,my 245 60 15 BFGs should have lots of room with an extra inch on each side .I need to glass bead it again and buy some new 31 spline axles

I never thought i would see this day ,i finally have a top loader for the 69 . After having 2 stolen i pretty much gave up on this thing . A friend of mine ...a real friend ,is on his way right now with a rebuilt big block close ratio top loader ,the input shaft has already been changed to the small block and it comes with a competition plus shifter . Maybe now i will get the will to work on it once again ,it has been a long time.
