New paint on the Electra.

Hi
My Electra is finally painted.
I am sorry for the bad pictures, I will shot some better pictures another day.

 

Looks great! :TU: What's the colour?

 

And...curious about your car...

Is it a '76? If so, how did you manage the "closed quarters", ie the elimination of the opera window in the c-pillar? It is an interesting look; sort of a 1974 silhouette with a 1976 front clip, side trim and tail lights.

Thanks in advance,
Steve.

 

It's a model year 1976 for sure, but I also noticed the lack of the opera windows. Maybe someone replaced the vinyl roof ?
How does the C-pillar area look from the inside of the car ?

I like the new colour, but hey: Blue with a white roof always looks great :TU:

 

It's a 76, but I didn't like the opera windows, so I removed them.
The color is blue brilliant, a 05 Chrysler color, I think.
The lower parts of the doors, the dash and inner roof is also upholstered.

 

Looks great! Love the window mods and paint color. Very Cool!:bglasses:

 

Some better pictures.

 

Great color, it really fits the car.

 

Thanks for the positive feedback.:grin:
The best thing about the renovation, was to get the armrest's and the dash recovered.
It's much more fun to use the car now.
I have fixed and selled a lot of American cars during my life.
But this one I will never sell, It's a part of me now.
After all I bought it in the USA and travelled around in it for a month over there and had a great time.
This is the best car I ever have had, I am enyoing every minute,I am driving it.:3gears:

Here is a picture of how it looked like, when I bought in Missouri in May 2005.

 

Some newer pictures of the Electra, that were shot this weekend.
Our local club arranged a American car meeting.,

Is there a place in the world where the '69 Camaro isn't popular amoung American cars?

 

67-73 Camaro's are very popular in Norway.

 

A couple of days ago I mounted a new Vinyl top on my Electra.

A silver one this time, I think it ggoes good with the color and Chrome.

 

The silver top goes good with all your trim.
Nice look!:TU:

 

Thanks

I was a little bit afraid that it would look to much like a pimp mobile:grin: , but I think it suits the car well.
