Re: Sunday and the convert

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not as sure of final color as I once was after looking this over more on Sunday.
  The Convertibles chrome is mostly not, It is stainless. I will have to think about what I intend before going too far as I disslike the black engine compartment. Which is what I will likely end up with if I go black and wait for paint. Overall trim is in much better shape then I remembered.
   I've got time. This will be the cars second major reworking that I can tell. Third, at least, paint job. The car was originally metallic light green/blue. Someone stripped it and painted it light blue, non metallic. I mean it was stripped! The trunk was sprayed under the convertible well, eninge compartment, everything. It must have been down to the point I will be taking it for the color change to be so complete!
  I guess at some point someone else thought it was worth the effort!

As long as you realize this is a long-term project, I think you'll be satisfied. 
3-4 years from now you'll be glad you saved it. I'd re-think the "rat rod" paint 
and such though. It will be worth more in the end as a semi-restored 990 
convertible than a cheap street rod. If it was a four door or two door post 
sedan (don't think there was one in the Ambo line) I'd think differently. Even a 
half-decent Maaco paint job would be better, especially since it's a 990. But 
it's your car, and there's plenty time between now and getting it painted!
