This was pretty cool, kind of a “eureka!” moment. I don’t know how well you can see this, but this is the original, virgin, unmolested Highland Green paint from January,1968. It was under the window molding and never was exposed to UV wear.
This is why working on older cars is so cool - there’s a history to them, you kinda feel like a palentologist unearthing some of this shit.
Ate up four wire wheels in the process of cleaning old paint, rust, seam sealer, urethane, and rubber molding out. I took the guard off to reposition it.
The end result, clean spot welds ready for removal.
The new shop mascot - 1968 Highland Green / black bucket fastback - shows exactly what this car came from the factory as. (Model is a GT).
This is pretty much what it’s gonna look like, different stance and different wheels.
Here’s where we are today. 
More to come!
