That is a beautiful car!!

 

Thanks CherryCandy!

 

Robs, Thats interesting. I have never heard of boom tubes before. Are they like the Supertrapp I think it was called that is tunable with removable discs?

 

Another Caspian car! My 65 fb is currently that color but after resto will be Calpso Coral w/ flat black lemans stripes.

 

What is calspo coral is it a newer color? Do you have a picture of a car with that paint? I think I found a car that color online. Are you talking about calypso coral?

 

Remember my comment before about how they are never done? Well ealier today one of the hood hinges collapsed while closing the hood and the hood hit the fender and it chipped the paint on both. Damn It!!

 

this is calypso coral, its a stock color introduced in 1969 or 1970 i cant remember. in the for a long time it was by far the most popular color to restore 1969-1970 body styles

 

That color is pretty sweet for a 69-70.

 

Well I replaced the hood hinges with the new ones that recently arrived and one of the new ones collapsed on the driver side this time. I also used new springs. They are stiffer than the OEM springs or maybe the OEM springs are just worn out.

It appears that the springs are just too stiff. Hell the hood will stay open with just one spring attatched. I got a replacement hinge on its way. I was going to try a pair of springs for a fiberglass hood since they aren't as stiff.

 

Great looking car! Makes me super excited to get mine done.
