Found the right tower had been replaced and bodged with braze, had to cut all the brazing out and welded it up properly.

wow! that car is beautiful! do you have any pics of the sides? what color blue is that, its amazing and I love the tail lights? did you make them!

 

sorry for all of the questions, I'm inquiring because im in the middle of my build

 

Joe

Thanks Joe, I do have some pics of the sides but with the old wheels on, I'll post one up though. The blue is a Chrysler blue pearl, the light I had a friend mod/shave them for me and from that he took a mould and now produces a one piece lens to fit straight on. I can give you his details if you like?

 

Ask away, glad to help and best of luck with your build.

I gotta get some flush tail lights...are those dark or light smoke?

These are the darkest we could go without affecting the brightness of the taillights. They are just beyond a smoke but not quite dark.

Hi premix
Thanks first of all for your advice for my scoop Hood. Super super.
I wanted to ask you the dimensions of your wheel and tire .. I find them really extra on your 69 and the sizes you took fill well the wings ...

Thank you again and nice work amicably 69 fastback ..
Robert
