Took 3 tries but I finally got my grill & bumper painted. First batch(qt) ran like it was on fire, this batch went on like fresh cream, couldn't make it run. I got the NOS bumper guards from Tom Myers, the originalbumper & grill-stripped 4 coats of paint off them. Brian front grille front grille 2

Brian,

Looks good, real good. That'll probably be one of the first things I paint on mine as well. What kind of paint did you use? I'm thinking something more durable due to possibility of rock pitting. Is that necessary?

Mine didn't come with the two bumper guards, were those std.?

Also, in this pic Spare tire it appears that your spare is on the right side, mine's on the left. Interesting.

Keep up the good work.

Rance

I am a novice painter, I used acrylic enamel using a hardener. Its cheap if I mess up & more durable than the OE lacquer. Bodymen seem to go into a trance when you say 1964 so I am gonna do it myself I suppose. My spare was also on the driver's side but I moved it as when I haul stuff I put it on my side. Spare side mount was a $14 option in 1964. Brian
