There is so much to like about this 69 GP SJ.

Just one of the details I appreciate is the engine paint finish.
You see so many engines with a heavy thick paint job and this car has a light spray like the factory would have done, nice.

Thanks for sharing your friends car.

I agree. And the black finishes on the core support, inner fender wells, firewall and under hood are very close to factory as well.

----There was only a bit of surface rust on my SJ's radiator support down low on one side. That whole peice is dip painted. I have the original runs to prove it, so I chose to just do the affected areas and leave the rest alone. There were a few minor spots on top of the support right above the battery probably from battery acid but I felt strongly that I shouldn't redo the upper side of the support. The runs are still there!....Bill S

Yep, that's how they did them. That paint was very durable and shines up easily if in good condition. Great that you could preserve it.
