CB's 69 Roadrunner

Well its been way too long since I've done an update. I'll get one written up this weekend with pictures and put it up. I'm pretty much ready for painting the whole car, few little things here and there to finish then we should be getting color on it soon.

I had a question for all of you RR aficionados, I've got an older retired guy working at the shop and he mentioned the other day that he thought the headlight buckets were black from the factory, on my RR they are orange, I could see how black would look better than orange so that you don't really see in behind the headlight doors as well.

The other thing I was wondering if anyone knew, the same guy said that he remembers the vertical grille support being black from the factory, again on mine it is orange, but I can see how black would look better seeing as its up in front of the radiator.

Any help with that would be great, and I'll see what I can do to get some pictures and an update on what we've been doing to the RR posted over the weekend.
 
The headlight buckets should be zinc and this is the blackout I did on mine.

Note the top picture is # 804, that's about 200 short of completion :lol:
 
Very NICE build. This is exactly what I will be looking for in a couple of years. Maybe you will still have it ..................

GREAT job.
