No one can say that your lazy, that's for sure.... This car is a regular Mad Max!

I'm betting that was a day of reward and relief... congratulations!

Man we are all sorry to see this I'm sure...not many people get to drive a labor of love like yours. God Bless.

The local free range mutts have etched the finish with piss on my set. I cant seem to bring back the mirror shine in the affected areas. The center caps are a bit crappy too after about a year. I think I paid 1195. shipped with lugs and it took 4 like weeks, pretty sure I got them from Mr. Wheel Deal but I still have the reciept so I'll check on that. I still think that its the best looking aftermarket wheel available, almost no regrets. I should have got the 17 x 11? for the rear instead of the 17 x 9.5...o well.

Wow......Did you tell him about this site?

I went thru the same process in that my panel (the one that you need)was from a 65. it was an easy modification, only a couple of holes to drill if my memory serves me. I bought the aftermarket chrome trim kit from CJponyparts, and it looks pretty good to me. One trim piece on each side of the panel with the latch holes needed some "massaging" in order to fit and the chrome chipped on mine but its not too bad for me to be upset.

Choosing a paint color would give me fits too, ive never had the chance to paint one yet, but im sure i will agonize over it like crazy. ive been dead set on "black" for a long time for the fastback project, but then when the time comes....

+1.... oops... someone already said that!

Got pics?? I think there is a rubber seal in the quarter extension, is the gap bigger than that?

I did the same thing in a 65 cobra replica. it will shurly not be as valuable when you sell it, but who cares, right? the ls1 is a powerfull and cheap way to go, and the chevy guys will LOVE it! nice project man.

No. We actually had a white Christmas here in Texas and it is still to cold for me to jack with it. I'm not sure which way I will lower it. What do y'all ...or should I say, you's guy's think? Lol

Rear tire size?

Wow. Love the 18's. Love the color.

With a smart phone you also have a speedometer. It is way more accurate than my crushed speedo cable and factory speedo.

The irony is crazy. Last night I rant about thieves and this morning when I get to my warehouse it's been burglarized. Ain't that rich! They stole the copper wiring, table saws, power washer, all kinds of tools, A/C window unit..... You can't make this stuff up! Let's see what insurance does for me.

God help the thief that I catch in the act. I'm so damn sick of thieves. I too have been a victim on more than one occasion. The sorry bastards deserve to be beaten, publicly shamed and then turned over to the law. In that order. Sons a bitches. I am also in the furniture business....go figure.

I walked by it....looked at it and thought, man that's a pretty car.:drool::001_wub::001_rolleyes:

My shock mounts were tore from air shocks. This is true.

Did she perform any better? I mean the car not the wife.

Welcome to the site and congrats! It looks like a great car!

Awesome. What are your plans? Silver Jade is a great color. How long do you estimate til you're finished?

Yesterday I installed a product like Dynamat on the rear floor and wheel wells, then reinstalled the fiberglass interior panels and fold down seat set up. Today my back is killing me and my right but cheek feels like its ready to spaz at any moment but thats probably for a different forum. Ibet I got in and out of that car at least 30 times. It still needs some alignment and maybe a shim here and there, but overall it sure is nice! I love all that chrome inside the car. Also when you walk down the side of the car and look down into the rear glass and see the open, clean look of the seat laid down, it just screams "classic car":punk:

Yes it is a Dynacorn kit and all the pieces fit well except for the 2 side pieces on the middle panel. They are crimped a bit too tight at the 90 degree end. The screw hole is to tight to fit without opening up the bend some.

Some pics after the repair with new trim and carpet.
