Yes - getting excited!
In the meantime, I am doing some of the bits and pieces that help things look a little more freshened up...
I had an original of the small round push on caps that was nearly perfect. Found a metallic aluminum spray paint that matched it really well. So I gave all of the old plugs and the ones I bought off of doc (I believe) a nice warm water with soap scrubbing! Hit them all with some 1000 grit, then paint and now they all look almost brand new. Did the same with 2 large caps for the B-pillars.
Found a helpful thread on here about painting the letters on a 69 grill. Worked great on my original grill! And found some closed cell foam w/ a peel and stick backing and cutout new gaskets.
