Hellraiser, I did that same treatment for our '86. I LOVE the way it looks!! Yours looks awesome.

Thanks :)

I'm in doubt,
What colour should I use for the targa bar logos?

1973 original was gold?

But I think black will go better with the RSR-look?

Targa bar polish and brush
 

Hi, nice project you have going. When I purchased my Targa the bar was polished but i really like the brushed look that you have. Could you please describe how you got that beautiful even finish?

Thanks

Hello Wade,

I took it to my local metal working company, they polished it on a big wire wheel.



I polished the targa bar logo's and painted them in Rust-oleum hard hat flat black

Can anyone provide me with the correct height for the long hood
hood emblem? :)

Exactly 6 5/8” from hood lip to tip of emblem (ex rubber gasket) with tape laid completely flat. Pic for demonstration only as I only have two hands. Factory longhood.

(Front bumper is not secured yet, still have to mount the oil cooler)

Finally got the time to mount the oil cooler

Now I need to find the time to attach the grille into the bumper
and maybe the thing will be on in 2-3 weeks http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...leys/shake.gif

now I need to drill some holes in the latch panel and inner fender
to guide the oil lines.
with the G-style front bumper there was enough room to accomodate the oil lines.
this room is gone now due to the backdate and long hood.

Eventually we're getting there..

to do:

front bumper rubber
turn signal units
repair headlight wiring
headlights

Then we move on towards the rear

Thanks :)

Cut the polyester dashboard to fit around the front window vents.

Hope to get the windshield mounted by next week :)
