Clyde, is Looking Pretty Sharp!

Re: Rebirth of Clyde
 

I decided to black out the rear grill area, hopefully this will make the chrome grill pop!

Re: Rebirth of Clyde
 

removed the Dolphin gauges and went with the Autometer Classic White, with GPS Speedo

also I cleaned up under the hood, I found real good inner fenders and radiator support, blasted and painted then painted here and there and cleaned a bunch. I will replace the booster assy for a new one, the one there wouldn't clean up.
