More of the '60 with gas heater, tank was bad, so another tank installed, without hole for gas lines.

Great pics. That trunk liner appears to be an original with the grey colour. Some of the aftermarket covers seem to extend all the way up the side area. Is the driver's side the same as the passenger side?

A couple of fall pictures with the German rack I bought late in the summer. Still needing carpet, cardboard for the trunk and wiring area. I am going to repaint the smoothies... I am just not settled on the red I chose, and I am considering black rims to replace the red. Really hoping to get some whitewall tires as well. I found a set of original 1960 pacific wonderland plates, too. I'll re-register with those plates when it's time.
|
Beauty! |
Thank you!! Almost done...

Front truck cardboard detail. Drivers side is same as passenger side, hard to see with gas heater.

Flint Gray, wow, that must be a comparatively rare color. I don't think I've ever seen a real Flint Gray '60. Looks like you are doing a superb job--beautiful car. |
Fantastic Flint Grey car!
I had an original paint (nice fade) Flint Grey, in the background of this photo, had accident damage on left side, so it got parted 
Our '60 Jade Green, whats left of the paint in the foreground:

Wow. Great looking car.
I have a Flint Grey with no interior... Any pictures of the interior? Cloth seats or vinyl? |

It has the vinyl interior. It still has original upholstery, door panels and interior paint.

Anyone seen a set of these 50/50 tail lights with the top half clear?
I know the amber red ones are rare.
