I like it Adam! I know you'll enjoy it.
If you need any help, my hubby is just finishing up his 70 coupe. Just PM him anytime. His forum name is TNBusa. Or PM me and I'll ask him.
Good luck and have fun!

You're just right out there in the mountains, right? I mean, I'm happy to motor on up and put the wrench down, man!

They are more of a sunset orange. It is painted on.

ALL RIGHT! Congratulations.
No matter which list you use, they never get shorter! It will be fun when the kids get a little bigger to help turn some wrenches and enjoy it with you.
Good luck with it.
