Restoration Update (Closing in!)

Haven't posted pics in a while, which doesn't necessarily mean that nothing has been going on...the car is pretty close to being complete. The hood was prepared and installed (not an easy process fitting it, I should mention), the grill was installed, front bumpers, too.

We then moved to the side exhaust covers and then the interior: carpets and trim...check it out.

Re: Restoration Update (JohnZ)

thanks.......I am really excited about taking out for the first ride. :)

John, You can for a reasonable sum. :)
Coming from you, it really means a lot; I mean that.

Patrick, Dennis did this himself. He is crazy-meticulous. Straight lacquer - multilple coats, no gel coat. And it looks the same all over the car, Patrick.

:D
