Very perplexing issue our cars.
First in answer to Franks comments:
Frank, I agree with getting the roof installed along with any metal work that needs to be fabricated like the top metal door frame pieces. My original pieces are mostly painted rust. No.., the wheels are a project in themselves. Just ask Ted. What a great job he did. My wheels will just have to wait, right now I have bigger fish to fry.
As far as the ambiguity of our cars go I have to think Dave's car is my standard at this point. I am a member of the Delaware Valley Region and one of the other members is a former POC president who owns an original 29 Plymouth 4 door sedan. Really nice guy Joe Hernandez. His car hasn't moved in awhile and he said that when the weather gets warmer we could dig it out of the garage so I can get my eyeballs on yet another example of a 29 Plymouth.
Below is a picture of my dash from a work effort I haven't posted yet. In sanding and working on the dash I believe the Blue that is coming up is the same blue overspray I found on the remains of some original wood pieces. Can I definitively say that someone else didn't paint this car Blue before it was repainted Red, maybe or maybe it is the original color. Who can really say. Below the blue was a very stubborn, porous & gummy black. This is the same I found on the firewall. Primer or topcoat ?
I think as time goes on being 100% correct is impossible but getting 85% right might be attainable. The main and most important thing is to be 120% happy with what you have. I will have to read over the POC judging guide. The jury is still out but if I am not convinced I will comply to general agreement unless something other than that makes me happy.
