Wonderful to see the photos. I'm in the middle of the same project on our '75 myself and
hoping for "good enough". Almost anything would be an improvement over what we had!

Any ideas on what to do with the ABS parts prep? The front grill and headlight surrounds
and the old '73 t-skirts I'm reusing are all made of ABS. The '73 was pre-imron, so lacquer
I think. And orange, oh so very, very, bittersweet orange! :-)

Do you think the 2K urethane primers will adhere ok to sanded ABS, or should I use
some epoxy primer on those too? Any problems priming over well-adhered lacquer?

thanks for any ideas,
