Wow. Pretty enamored of both the spirit and execution of the build. Thanks for taking time to post.

Got to see this one in person this weekend. And as you might imagine, it is all that and then some.

It's always something isn't it? I smashed a deer in my econo cruiser and then had to resort to my 71 Camaro as the daily. The last 2 summers I'd daily it no questions asked. But after whacking a deer and driving in the dark all the time makes me leery of driving it knowing the deer are running rapid right now. :mm:

It's great to see progress. My original doors are in the body shop. Fingers crossed.

Looking sweet and a beautiful restoration so far!!

Just curious if you have any good reference points/measuements to go along with my thread on two tone paint lines and moulding mounting holes? One question i have is the paint line coming off door to front a straight level line?

Once again congrats on the job so far! Love that color combo!

That’s such a great color!
What did you use on your brake booster? Is it plated or painted?
