Are you sure there is a 70 under that kit? Check the rear frame for bumper shock mounts or signs of them being removed.

Pretty sure he would know what year his car is- as he owns a Daytona Prototype ... this is him https://hubbellracing.com/


Paint - Car looks fantastic!!! I'm thinking some gold BBS?!!!

Nice, keep the pics coming!
Enkei had a real popular wheel very similar to the BBS back then.
