Can’t wait to see a new thread on this one.
Pop that hood, we want to see that aluminum unit.

Is this color Roman Red?

There’s something about those old vintage oil change stickers.

Thanks Chris!

I have started the thread on the 60 here.......

This car is Honduras Maroon. They had the color from 60-62. It is one of my favorites in these solid axle cars

What a great car, it was at MCACN last November and was able to judge it. That was a treat.

You seem to pick out the best of the best.

Some cars defy their milage, this one does. It was very well cared for.

Back on the 67. I get distracted to shiny new things like a teenager

I painted the center dash carrier along with dying the dash pads. I reinstalled the dash pads today along with the windshield trim. In all, I'm pretty happy with the color match.

Between yesterday and today, some more parts came in. The one item that really suffers in roadsters is the interior, including the gauges. The temp gauge and tachometer colors really fade back. I sourced an NOS temp gauge, a restored tachometer, and got the clock back from Clock Works. Once I have the cluster apart, I can determine if I need to paint the needles. I'll also see how the gauge cluster carrier cleans up and determine if it needs to be painted. Not as easy as the survivor cars

Tim,

Having owned a couple roadsters in the late 70’s in Springfield Illinois I noticed that those hot summers definitely took a toll on the interiors.

But having the top down cruising with your girlfriend was a must.

I’m sure this Red ‘67 roadster interior will look close to new after the Tim Touch.

It's looking very good.
