Thanks for the nice comments guys.

I've been at the restoration for nearly three years so it's nice to see colour on the car. Every bit of trim I install now makes the car better and better.

Nice work. I'm waiting to see how the lower body trim by the header/sidepipes comes out - mine seems to have been altered near the front wheel on one side to get the sidepipes to fit.

I installed the side pipe and rocker molding on the passenger side last night. All that was needed was a small notch to clear the sidepipe clamp bolt.

I'll post some new shots after I complete the driver's side.

I'm runnig an Edlebrock performer intake and carb set-up using a 2" drop base breather borrowed from a friends stockcar. I tried several set-ups until I found this one. Now the L88 hood closes with the 3" filter.
