Stop in for a cup of coffee

Thanks Rani, for some reason I didn't think much of the '71 grille or the tail panel, but then I changed my mind too. I am working on a way to replicate the look of the decals that were on the outboard part of the headlight bezels. The perforated metal look. Also I just ordered a Testors flat black paint pen to redo the outlines on the grille that have worn off.
you really need to start a build thread here on FABO to keep a record of everything you do like that ...even if not a full on resto, still good chat material.

I am doing a "fireside Valiant chat" in a chat or "think out loud" format.

Fireside Valiant chat

You might catch the "fireside" reference to FDR during WWII to explain his thoughts in depth ... ...haha, I am a history nerd
