Well I finally got 359 mostly done. I think it came out pretty nice.

Did you toast to the completion with some champagne?

Beautiful , just simply gorgeous. Looks to be a product you can truly be satisfied with and proud of

Greg, very nice - congratulation! My #129 is champagner yellow, too.

Greg

your comment "I think it came out pretty nice." is way understated. Supurb is more like it.

Wow

Good one that's funny

Thanks all for your replys.

I am very excited to be able to finally drive the car. Been looking at it since I was a youngun.

Bump on the question on brake calipers...
IAA1963, I am curious what calipers your car has (especially on the fronts) and what type of plating you are using?

All Calipers since the first 356Cs were yellow cad. I'm probably going to start a "discussion" on caliper plating. Yellow cad plating fades very repidly which leads many people to swear that their calipers were not gold. Those people need to take one of their calipers apart and view the remnants of yellow cad on the inner caliper halves where the sun don't shine. I am at home today and not at the shop. I will post pictures of calipers and the progression from 356 style calipers to later versions tomorrow.

Regards

Jim
