The 510 Realm

And now that the paint and undercoating was done, it just seemed like all the components needed a fresh coat before going back in. http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/DSCF2049_zpsqybuhsdy.jpg http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/DSCF2048_zpsnvpkcsp5.jpg http://...

The funny thing about this project is that that I originally just wanted a cheap 510. But then I decided to do a resto. And then as I chose to have one part look nice, the next part needed to look nice. Well the car already had a pretty decent undercoating on the bottom of the car when I got it. But...

One thing I didn't mention and I just came across these photos was when the rear taillights were put together we only had 1 good piece of rubber out of all 6 taillights. So it was used as a template and new rubber pieces were drawn and hand cut. http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado9...

The valve cover was also cleaned up:

The rear seat also came back from the upholstery shop. We decided to try and make the rear seat match the front seats.

While all of that was happening I did get some goodies for when the car was going to be put back together: Nardi Wheel: http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/9_20_14%20012_zpsqussrtao.jpg Radiator: http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/9_20_14%20010_zpsoyqu3vtx.jp...

Then wheel it outside and see how it looks: http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/DSC_0007_zpscphjlzmx.jpg http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/DSC_0009%20copy_zps6zx7e7c2.jpg http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/DSC_0014%20copy_zpsec4yrvog.jpg...

Clear on the body.

Cobalt Blue

I wish I had this kind of talent... and facility... both are pretty great. http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/IMG_6723_zpsyhjuo3xc.jpg http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/IMG_6715_zpsrmersoir.jpg http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/IMG_661...

Rear deck lid

I think I posted a picture of the unfinished spook on the car. We painted the spook blue, and then followed up with a satin black that should hopefully help it match the 68 JDM grill that we are putting on the car. http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/image1_zpsyebimuxm.jpg http:/...

The paint color really pops in the sunlight. Thought I'd post some engine bay photos outside as well. http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/IMG_6441r_zpsldpucjiu.jpg http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/chrisalvarado99/IMG_6440r_zpsbj97mmna.jpg http://i349.photobucket.com/albums...
