I did some detailing on the front grille, rear trunk lid and the taillights. Then I started taping the hood for the Performance Hood Treatment.    More GTX to come... |

I finally painted the '69 GTX with Tamiya TS-6 Matt Black. Next will be Gloss Clear over the Matt Black to bring out a glossiness to the paint.    More GTX to come... |

Al, you are correct as the hood treatment and the side panel painting is a pain, but the masking seemed to have come off rather well! I found the wiper motor on an old AMT Dodge Challenger firewall and I added a power brake booster.    More GTX to come... |

The engine bay is complete. I even added the extra horn on the other side of the radiator core support. After looking at several other builds of the '69 GTX, I noticed a squat in the rear suspension. I decided to add a couple of risers to the rear leaf springs to raise the suspension a little.    More GTX to come... |

Thanks Joe! I didn't want something that would raise the back end too high and I fingured that these should be enough.
