Well, here are some pics...
 Yesterday two shipments from the States arrived. New airride controller, 8 fast valves, bigger/better fittings for the hole system, 3/8" air lines.     White portawalls for the new rear tires...  ...and for the front tires. Not much BLACK sidewall left

Operation "Digital Gauge"
It is not easy to place a digital display in a car from 1968 without making it all look stupid. After som testing and failing I found a solution and went for it. First step:  Then I had to find the right position for the display:  This is what I had in mind:  And after some cuting, grinding the final result was like this:    I am going to make a gasket under the front to get it in level with the trim. The alu.front is also going to be polished to match the rest.

spending alo of money is one thing, but NOT making it look like everything else is the hard part....

Last week I tried on my new pre67 hood. Me liiiike!
The hood and the deck lid are going to be prepared for paint next weekend.  I am also going to change this one next weekend...  Earlier this week I also received some parts for my pop outs.  ..."snowflakes" =)  But now... the BIG news of the week. I have now made an appoinment with my painter The body is prepared for paint next weekend and is delivered for paint the week after that, where it will stay for a couple of weeks. I will then use this time to finish the modifications of the front suspension and changing the air lines. It seems like the new suspension is delayed so I'm going to make the changes to my balljoint to make the car even lower. I am also going to make some "mods" on my new tires and get them installed. So guys.. wanna know what color I have choosen?? :laugh: FLATT Savannah Beige, with bronze toned windows (all of them, including the wind screen) All the primer red details are of course a keeper  More work done this weekend.   The painter visited me saturday and had a look at the project. He was very satisfied of the work so far. I will receive a quote next week. Changed the front apron since I have changed the hood. Now the apron is pre 67 =)  Perfect fit against the fenders. HEY!!! The car is on the ground! hehe "The Mig" ;D  Two of my friends visited me today, and that ALWAYS ends up in more work for me. And here's the result... Before:  After:  Result.. MUCH lower Cap!  Stance

Well guys, this is a week that I have waited for a long long time. This weekend the car is going into the paint booth =)
I am using these last days for the last minute job. Today I have stripped the bonnet and the hatch. First I used a paint stripper.  After some minutes it looked like this..  And some hours later working with the grinder, it looked like this..  Tomorrow I am going to "shoot" primer, and wednesday I'll shoot the last layer with füller. I also went to the painter tonight and picked up the paint sample. The paint is so incredible flatt!! =) JUST AS I WANTED!! This is taken with blitz on, and it is impossible to get ANY reflections at all from it  Modified by DrLaban at 9:52 PM 11-10-2008
