69 Barracuda Fastback G3 Hemi Father Son Project

I guess the pictures didn't show up on my previous post...
So let's try this.

Hard to tell but now there are 3 different blacks... Suede Black Dash Frame, Sem Ultra Trim Satin Black on the bezel where it was originally chrome, and Krylon Fusion, textured satin black on the face where it used to be silver. 3 slightly different shades of black, different textures and different sheens... Poor lighting today, heavy clouds and raining so pretty dark on my patio. Phone flash didn't help much.


Still need to add the silver stripe above the cluster to tie the left and right sides together...
Some silver on the raised circles around the Flasher, Lights and Wiper switch holes too. I have a silver paint pen that might be good for those, and the Trip reset hole depending what function/switch I end up putting there...

Masking off that little fish was a challenge but it worked out. The Script is easily removed and replaced after painting. Was surprised to see copper under the chrome when sanding to rough up the chrome before primer.
I would expect it for a triple chromed bumper but chromed plastic??? I had no idea... "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

Very nice work blending all the surfaces. Not an easy task let alone having the "eye" for it.

Been a while... but I was able to make a little more progress on the 69 Barracuda project this week.
1. Reverse Lamps installed
2. Tail Lamps installed
3. Deck Lid Finish Panel installed - still need to blackout the area of the taillight housings adjacent to the black of the trim panel. They come all chrome.

The Reverse Lamp Bezels and Taillight assemblies are from PG Classics, nice pieces.
I got the Trim Panel from Year One.
Looks very nice out of the box but man is it thin and soft... fit is just so so... which is kind of typical.

There are always some challenges but they are all in and good to go. May want to try for a little better alignment but not sure if it would be worth the effort to make all the lines just right. Tough to do after body and paint are all done... 

Little by little, no matter how little, it all needs to be done.
