'72 // Build Thread
  I am starting in on this "In Need of Attention" 72 T. I plan on making it my own. The paint is haggard and the interior needs attention. I'm not going to give every detail I plan today. I'll just mull along and figure stuff out as I go. Paint will be happening pretty soon.

For sure Chris. Not my favorite but it's original to the car.

I'm building a parts list.....
Once it leaves paint I'll do the headliner and measure for wheel offset. I'm planning on running a 205/55/16 in front and a 225/50/16 in the rear both on 7's.

Bahama or Signal? It's hard to tell what with pictures on the internet and everything. Either way, I really like your car, even if it's not your favorite color.
I like your approach as well - "I'll just mull along and figure stuff out as I go". I've been doing that for over 20 years on my '72. If someone had asked me 20 years ago, I would not have described what I have today. Just see where it takes you...

Jeff it's Bahama but I can't tell the difference between the two on the internet.
Maybe someday I'll see the colors next to each other....

The color laid down perfectly and I am more than please with the results from Sunday's efforts. I'm not going to show everything I am doing and I just can not document and work. However a few gratuitous shots along the way............
  Signal Yellow......... This has not been cut or buffed.......yet.

While waiting for parts and other stuff..... I started in on the interior. Instead of rebuilding both seats from scratch I purchased a set from Classic Touring Seats. I dismantled the center insert portion. The insert was remade using woven leather I ordered.
 I also cut the headrest down to a reasonable size. Same thing I did on my 88. The rear deck was rebuilt from scratch ( it was pretty beat up) and covered in leather. Rear seat back delete shown using the same woven leather.  Having done a car already I learned a lot. In some cases i'll go backwards from what I did before.

I have lined up some outstanding help on Friday and Saturday. Planning to get the glass installed and the suspension finished up.

It's way too early for a glamor anything. LOL !!! If I stay on schedule it will be at the dry ice blaster by Monday afternoon. I'm going to get the wheel wells and belly cleaned up. I don't have the luxury of Covid to spend cleaning as I did before. I'm just going to pony up and have it done by a professional.

That's a great color and I like where you're going with the interior so far.
Doing anything special with the engine, trans, or suspension? |
