The best of both worlds, you addressed the rot issues. You keep the older paint and made it look like no repair work was done on it. Well done

Brings back memories, in the late 80’s I had a 69 Z28 the same blue with black stripes blue interior, I drove car to work every day, loved that car, sold it for $5500 and got married. It should be a lot of fun for someone should you sell it, great job!

Hey Al, Charlie again from Minnesota. So those clips serve a dual purpose, to help hold the glass in place and clip the trim into place? I respect the fact you can restrain yourself from going all in on a project, and make more affordable to a person looking to buy a classic car.

Hi my name is Steve quick question The 69 you're working on now that you just put the back window in. Did the touch up painting and everything. Why is that car not worth restoring completely. But the blue one that you have on the left that is a straight 6 looks a lot worse of condition . Wouldn't it be easier to fix than repair The one that you just did the paint touch upon in the back window in wouldn't that be the better way to go.

[@keepitsimplegarage-xp1kk]

@@stevenlayne8744 Hello Steve, the blue one is definitely worth restoring or go over it and keep it looking like a survivor car and keep it affordable. To restore it would make it unaffordable to a lot of people who can build it the way they want to. The one on the lift I’m going to build an LS turbo or pro charger, kind of a pro touring car.
