Looking good John!! I have the Fesler trunk hinges for my 70. Very nice.

My 70 is in paint jail too. I don't have the control that you do but the shop is only 2 miles from mine. Very handy!

I guess I need to get some black fesler trunk hinges going. How do they install? Do I need to keep the filler panel off, to access the old hinges?

I have a fair bit of their stuff.

The Fesler hinges come with some real nice pins with a spring detent clip built in to hold them in place.
You do need the filler off to get the old hinges and torsion rods out of there. I also trimmed the back edges of the hinge brackets to clean them up a bit after the old hinges were out.

Thanks guys.

This project just took another turn.

I don't like the red. Can't find one I like.

It's going deep, abyssal black, like my GMC.

Lets talk about that Cigarette in the back ground. Is that a 38?

Which one? There's two in these pics. :popcorn2:

In my opinion a good move. I don't like red on anything except an exotic. But we all know about opinions...
Deep black, oh yeah!!

So I got some paint on it...

May actually need a name for this.

Wow that paint looks slick! Nice job!

I am not sure what the squiggles are on the passenger side... they're not there on car.
