Subject: Write-Up: PAINT JOB Wed Apr 18, 2007 10:01 am

Just thought I'd pass along what I started this past weekend. beer

I got this much apart in one day, am hoping to have the rest of the trim, quarter windows and $h!†, off by this weekend and finish prepping it for paint. thumbsup

The masking tape is marking where there are flaws that need fixed! nono

I'm going to keep the rocker mouldings original and replace the tail pipes with the Black Chrome ones.
Maybe then I can compete with some of the other sharp Black Rivieras here! wink

i saw the pic before i read the title and thought you were in an accident :shock: how did you remove the side moldings? i thought about getting just those repainted b/c there are a few dings and tough-up spots frown

are you doing the painting yourself?
...and how do you keep the chrome wheels mirror clean? you must have just washed her

They kind of just pull off...VERY CAREFULLY! I broke some of the tabs on the right side, hope I can get them off of my parts car without breaking them, if not I'll just see about bonding the tabs back on.

My brother and I are doing it, he can do real good paint work when I can get him up and around.

Yes, I had just had it in a show here on the Air Force Base the weekend before, so it was pretty well cleaned up when I started tearing it apart!
I use Mothers Chrome polish, I've found it works best, it takes around 8-10 hours to polish the chrome on the Harley so I want it right the first time!

Thought I’d add what progress I’ve made,
a little smaller so as not to take up so much space.

Reference for the emblems……........…...………….Door completely apart to remove mirror and handle.

Tore the hell out of the interior to remove the quarter windows…............….didn’t want ANY paint lines! thumbsup

Side view with everything gone!!!.......................................................................................................WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS!!! poop

And of course some liquid refreshment! beer

There are five bolts that are part of the molding that hold it in place while the adhesive dries. headbutt

,That you remove after taking out the interior that is. A real pain to "CUT" out, I might actually have to replace the one on the drivers side! nono

Looks like your doing it right. smile

It has a mirror reflexion now. Can't really tell it needs to be painted from your pics. Thanks for the updates. I'm sure some of us will tackle this project someday too.

Subject: Re: Write-Up: PAINT JOB Sat May 12, 2007 8:38 am

This is where we got it to in the last couple of weeks, trying to get it ready for paint by next weekend.

.................................................................................I sure hope he knows what he is doing!!!

As it is this morning, the problem is I can only work on it on weekends since it is 150 miles away!

Doing it this way the only thing that will have to be taped off is the glass and the wheels, after all this work it had better turn out perfect....I hope anyway!

The acid rain stained it pretty good, we had already painted the bumpers and the hood and the trunk lid but the rest of it, the top and fenders, the clear was pretty much polished away, and the paint under it looked real bad.
