Will test it first to see if welding is required. Like a press fit Read my windscreen!gordini wrote:I think you will need to weld to hold it in place

I like two tone, the red would make the car stand out from the rest.
Re: 1965/66 Opel Rekord L Rally GMSA
As long as the two 'reds' (body and interior) match as in both having the same hue; Johann65's Rekord would look good in that two tone.

Thanks to all of you The red I have is the Rally Red as for the 1964/5 Chevelles and Malibu's.
The interior red is the same material as was originally in the Malibu. The dash will also become Red!!
I will complete the mechanics first and when the summer and dry season begins, will start the spray job!
I am busy fitting the exhaust and then the Alternator (Work easy) will show you later

Hi Johann,
Although I think your Record would look great in the red I personally feel it is too good to respray. Look what you said in your first post in this thread.
The restoration work you are doing is enough, she's a beauty.
There is something very nice about an old car still wearing it's origional paint.
Cheers
