Reassembly

I chose Ruby Red for the paint because it was originally painted Ruby Red and there was no better color for an American T34 Cabriolet replica.  I built it for people to fall in-love with the T34 marque, as an ambassador of sorts.

 

It spent about a month in the body shop for final prep & then was sprayed with a color that was as close to Ruby Red as possible.  It's close enough for me.

 

I was told to allow the paint to cure for three months, so it sat in the garage.  I began installing the scripts, chromed bumpers & lights, and then worked my way to the instrument panel.  I'd found an NOS push-button unit and had the gauges restored by Foreign Speedo.  I bought a restored Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM radio with rare T34 faceplate from Lars Neuffer in Germany.

 

Bought new BF Goodrich thin whitewall radial tires & had an NOS set of early T3 rims powdercoated red (should have done Pearl White).
