Thanks Lyle! Oh HELL no I aint done. Still got the BMF work, all the decals and a nice n' glossy clear coat to go.

Got the R/H side decaled up today. This......was a JOB!!! I've still got to paint the roof white.

That looks to have been quite tedious....looks pretty good, though, to a one-eyed old man.

Thanks Lyle....yeah....it was a chore alright. Thing didn't want to lay down flat. But.....I got it....

3rd Mock Up:

Nice!

Thanks Lyle. The decals have done what I hoped they would do which was to break up all that red a little.

Looking great. Just wondering why you waited until now to do the white roof?

My thoughts exactly.

It was by pure accident that this happened guys. Idiot mistake of not looking at my reference photos good enough. I simply could not believe that I didn’t see the white roof till after I applied the bmf.
I’ve got a recovery plan in motion though.

Ok gang....the first of the corrections has been accomplished. Where I cut the decals to fit what I thought was a little bit better and turned out being too much above the wheel openings has now been corrected. I've gotta touch up the interior headlining a little bit now but that's small stuff. The more I looked at this the more it bugged me.

Before...paying close attention to the white area above the wheel openings...



And....after the corrections. The passenger side "Penzoil" decal lifted on me on the mask off and stayed stuck to the tape but I found another one and have already replaced it. Next up.....gonna tackle that white roof...
