Love the pics!! Maybe I missed it before, but how was the original blue paint? The interior didn't look too bad either. I'm guessing you just really preferred a different color. Although I really liked the blue, what you're going for will look awesome too! Great job!

Hi C69,
Nice work on the valance/spoiler repair.
Have you checked the fit of the black plastic extension you'll be using?
The reproductions have an unusual 'swoop' at each end that doesn't fit well with the configuration of the original spoiler.
Might be wise to test fit now if you haven't yet.
Regards,
Alan
It looks like you might have allowed for the 'swoop'!?
Original extension fit.
Reproduction extension fit.

Really nice work on the car....as someone else mentioned "quality build"! I am impressed, looks like you are doing everything yourself which will be very rewarding when you are done, and you know you touched every part of this car. Really fantastic!
