Just the rear. Paint looks good from a 100 yards. But it’s getting there Small projects next Tailights, missing R and plug on luggage rack. Both came up missing at a cruise nite🤨

No ****?! Some scumbag bottom feeding lowlife stole stuff at a cruise?

Anyway, from the first time i noticed c3s decades ago i quickly realized some just pulled at me more than others,
And a 75 convertible is already cool but yours just has that extra pull to me, very sweet car, im jealous

I could leave your car 99% alone and just enjoy it

"Club chromie" ?
Depends on what level of membership one desires,
My 69 had a 73 front clip when i got it, lots of modifications and restoring when its a driver which if things keep going more less as planned will be just after new years,
It will " look" like a 69 survivor ish road race ish resto mod but will be a Frankenstein,
Not most people cup of tea when it comes to chromies but just what i want and i can justify calling it "the monster"
Plus my club dues will be right around 13k.

I try not to get in the way. The urgency of getting that cane to the mill baffles me. Red light, speed limits nothing means crap to those Highway monsters
