[/ QUOTE ] Don't worry about that Dan. I'm sure the diehards like me saved 'em down to enlarge them later anyway. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif Glad you had time to repost and describe them. You're right there is alot of bodywork needed.. Was it always "off" in those places on the panel fitment or did the years take it's tole on it somehow? Keep em coming. Got any shots of the mechanicals? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I would imagine the later. Remember this car sat in a carport type garage with trash stacked on it for over 20 years. Pretty amazing it is in as good a shape as it is.

The mechanicals are scattered at a few places now. The cool thing is we were able to find some original high compression LT1 parts, crank, pistions, rods, etc. (still in the GM packaging) to rebuild the engine. It will be sweet, and 360+ (cackle, cackle, cackle)! Will post some pictures soon.

Dont freak out too bad on the color, that is the way Joel installed it. The diff is the same. You have to remember this was a custom show car.
