Minty 1969 510 Sedan

[tristinGrind]

So I stripped the radiator today... it went good and bad. Bad in the fact that it didnt come out all shiny brass like I had hoped. Good in the fact that its a bit patina'd so it actually looks pretty decent. I dont know if Im going to keep it this way, but it will for awhile. I did come across the flat black spray paint so if I dont like it I can respray.

If say paint it bc the rest of the bay looks really clean and oem. It just fit really.

Yes. If its something you really want, I don't care about shipping it overseas. Always willing to help out those Down Under. I had a blast when I was in Perth:

Yeah the bay and trunk are the original color. The whole car will get repainted the mint color whenever I decide it's ready for paint.

I just meant the top of the rad, you said you were on the fence

[tristinGrind]

Oh ok... Now I understand. I get a lot of people telling me to paint the car haha

Well, the other items I had in the oven are done so now it's just the waiting game until I install more freshly powder coated pieces.

I think that gorgeous minty color is what makes the car.

just checked out this thread and realised that you've been to perth, so i subscribed based on that......and that i love 510's

[tristinGrind]

Haha sweet! Yeah I spent a week in Perth last year... Was awesome as it was St. Patricks day. Spent the night in Rosie O'Gradys. Good times. That picture above was actually part of the drunken walk back to our hotel room... Hence the inappropriate statue molestation (sorry about that).

I found this thread a while back when I first joined StanceWorks, and now after seeing it all over again its still enjoyable. Only thing i **** is that i dont have one haha

More powder work:





Installed pictures once I get new caps for everything (radiator, oil, and overflow)

Rad looks good I like the patina style. Is there any way you could polish it?

[tristinGrind]

Yeah, it's possible. I'd have to use a few different steel wools and then finish it up with some Never Dull or polishing compound. Easy, but time consuming.
