Getting the trim back on the 300

[Zymurgy]

I finally got a chance to work on my car today, I got it back from paint last Saturday night, but this was the first time I got to work on her. I had a good day I got a fair amount done and no scratches on the new chrome or paint. I got the chromed rear bumper an various chromed trim back on the car. It is basically road worthy again.

This is the best part of the restoration process. I couldn't wait to get started this morning. I'm going to be able to put in about a 1/2 day tomorrow.

X2 .. did you send out the trim and emblems somewhere?

Yes the rear bumper and most of the exterior pot metal I sent to a local guy Metal Brite in Dayton, OH. The rear trunk emblem was chromed and he has a painter that laid in the black. I restored the plastic red, white, and blue. I love the trunk emblem. The hood ornament is OK, but I think the trunk emblem is cool.

Oh it most certainly is

Mike, will you be making the Nationals in August? It is close to home

Thanks everyone, Yes Dave I will be there are you thinking of making the drive?

Here is my revised plan 53 subset B for completion of the 300. I will finish the exterior trim in the next 2 weeks and then take it to the upholstery shop. He claims he will have it done in 2 weeks but that his answer for everything. If I double that to 4 weeks I will still have it by the beginning of August, still giving me time to do any finishing touches.

I bolted the old split seats back in and plan on putting afew miles on her in the next couple of weeks. I might even take her to the drive-in next week. It is of course raining today but that is alright I still have plenty of work to do.

Thinking about it Mike, its a long drive for an unorganized event. I have done it twice, drove Friday night, did the show, drove back Saturday night/ Sunday morning. I'd rather go to Moparfest the following weekend but those damn passports......
