That is very off, you wouldve been better off painting the whole roof if you werent going to cover it. I heard silver paint is hard to get right regardless.

Im collecting a few parts to replace the lines for my a/c so i can get it running 100% and cant get a solid answer on a few things.
First, what is the "correct part" or part number for my car regarding the liquid line going from the condenser to the firewall? There is 3 different ones that ive found and its hard to tell which one is the right one because they all say they fit, i know they all cant.
Second, i have an 83 with what is considered dealer installed air with the hr980 compressor with press fit (spring) connectors, what o-ring kit do i need for my car?
I lucked out and found a nos compressor to condenser line since i couldnt find the right one for that in anybodys database and looks very different than the pics they all had.

Well, the paint is on the car.
I'm going to wet sand it here in the next day or so to get rid of the over-spray and a couple runs. Then I'll give it a quick polish pass.
The color is off, but the spot is covered and will be covered by vinyl, so I'm not stressing it. I want the car available to drive.
The 1K stuff I bought for the cage bits matched better than this 2K product did. This car doesn't sit out in the sun/weather at all, so it's not faded paint contrast, just a bad mix. It seems like good solid stuff, if I was repainting a whole panel, fender, etc though.

Yeah. Just one of those odd 80's redundancies. Just install the amp and such and there's no need for an ON/OFF switch. It's not like we're talking about 500W of extra power or anything...

Looks like the "Premium Sound Switch" turns on an additional amplifier to put it in "Boost Mode". In the EVTM it's called the "Amplifier Switch" I guess it's used if you want to rattle the neighbor's windows.

Yeah. That would make more sense in a dealer demo or something. Not in a road-going production vehicle.
I don't remember why I left the switch in place when I modded the panel for the gauges (I mean, it's probably been almost 20 years since I did that...)

Got the oil pressure sender yesterday and got it swapped out today.
We now have a working gauge again.
Going to try and do the finish sand on the primered spot on the roof this weekend and get some paint on it.
I have some 2K paint, so not going to activate that until I'm ready for it. The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend, so hopefully that will all be wrapped up.
