New Whitewalls and Off to Paint

[medinajim2000]

Put new whitewalls on her the other day.

Spent a couple hours this morning striping all the pieces off so that she can get her new paint.

Sweet! Going with the stock color?

You forgot the door handles and the rear window lock.

BJ's has repro door gaskets.

I'd also take the windshield out (HIRE someone to do that!) as well as the rear fixed windows and the window wipes. That way, the paint guy or gal doesn't have to mask that off and leave a line or end up painting the rubber trim.

Yep. Gray (again) with burgundy pinstriping to match the interior. Seems that's all I keep finding lately are the gray ones.

Figured I'd wait til I got to the shop to take the door handles off. I didn't have the socket to take the lock off, so the paint guy is going to do that for me.

My wife is going to be jealous... the gray ones with woodgrain are her favorite.

I Like the gray. Looking good. Can't wait to see the pics when she's done. Please post up post paint pics.

I am interested in the results also. The clear is coming off of mine.
