I am also a big fan of 60's red interiors especially in white cars. Odometer shows 07722.0, so rolled over. The L30 runs amazingly well, smooth and quiet, no smoke, added one quart to drive from CA. I see nothing to indicate the heads have ever been off (French locks are still in place!) but I'm sure the timing chain has been replaced. As you noted, masking of the TT was strictly a Fremont thing on for a '67 Chevelle. Fremont jacks, have you observed any predominance of either the tube or the tee style shafts? Follow along as I take this project over the hump. |

Time to wipe the ugly off this ride!
Bumpers, and front sheet metal removed. CAREFULLY removed all that 60 plus feet of body side moldings, tailgate trim and emblems. I do not have a spare of the tailgate "Concours" emblem, and the attaching barrel clips did not want to let go! I spent an hour finessing it off, thinking it would surely break! I removed the door panels, necessary to remove the door handles and also to salvage the unique side molding clips. I tried to source all new clips but the pictured rectangular plastic clips were not to be found. With the door panels off I cleaned and lubed window regulators and door latches etc. As previously mentioned, the RF fender had been replaced with a used and painted white. Strangely, this fender must have came from a cheapo 300 series as it had no holes other than for antenna, not even an engine call-out. Using trim from my stash and measurements from the other fender the appropriate hole were drilled. Also, the fender paint had some peeling on the inner under hood jamb, so that was prepped and painted. |

I've had this MBX rubber wheel vinyl removal tool for many years, but it did not work well here. What remained of the original vinyl was mostly dried up adhesive and the bottom layer of the vinyl film.
After trying several removers, chemicals etc, I resorted to oven cleaner and a single edge razor blade on a handle. This actually worked pretty well but still a tedious task! First application removed most of it, followed by another to remove leftovers. Then a wipe down with denatured alcohol. |

The area behind the gas door is painted brown to prevent a body color outline breaking up the woodgrain.

With wagon all naked and embarrassed it's time to bring life back the the chalked out paint.
First a color sand with 1,000 grit, then 1,500, 2,500, 3,000, and finally 5,000. Next Presta 2step, applied with a buffer, followed by Collinite 845 applied by hand, The woodgrain areas were sanded with 220. Now it's ready for woodgrain!! |

You’re amazing, Bill. Components that look hopeless turn out very nice with the proper cleaning. You’re just applying this theory to the entire car.
You must have a nice heated garage. |
