69 Catalina Rescue

[mrocketscience]

Ok, paintwork completed! Piicked it up Saturday morning and I have to say I'm really pleased with it. I spent a little time tidying up some details Sunday morning and we took it to the local cruise night. I still need to find some side marker lights since I had the body shop remove the side trim strip and fill the holes. Has a much cleaner look. I replaced the old hood tach with the correct Pontiac style for 69, the old hood tach was the wrong shape. Now, of course, the new paint makes the old bumpers look bad. Lol! MrsRocketscience is very happy with it.

Sharp! Out of body shop jail in good time and already to a show. Good times.

WOW! Thing of beauty!

Nice color for a convert. Looks good with the black grille too.

As long as Mrs Rocketscience is happy..........

Looks great! I wonder if the Firebird side markers might cover the holes. IIRC, they just mounted flat on the body panel.

Thanks, we really love the color. I'll have to research the side marker problem. Maybe Firebird markers will work. Some kind of small relector that doesn't look like it came off of a trailer will probably be ok. I think for Christmas it'll get some sort of stereo setup, w/ satellite and I phone hookup. No tunes currently.

fantastic! That car sure has gone through a tremendous transformation - well done! Great color choice. The black top rules too.

Great color choice! Looks perfect.

[mrocketscience]

Thanks guys! I'm pretty stoked. Can't wait to make a road trip.

[Beagle]

That looks fantastic, especially with the top down. You hit a home run with it!

This just inspires me to work on my junk.

Hey, haven't posted anything about the Cat for quite a while. We've been using it a lot, made some day trips and whatnot. We went to a car show at a local Bob's Big Boy last Sunday and actually won a Top 10 Plaque. My wife was pretty pleased to say the least..
