Stopped by the shop today. Here is the trunk edge detail inside and out. No black overspray anywhere.

For those of you that seek to duplicate a 1960's quality tow bar mount, just see if you can try to copy this quality piece of welding:

The car was on the lift so I got a few shots of the underside. They ran a buffer over the paint last week and it really woke it up. Nice and shiny now. The areas where the front fender decals were, are raised up above the adjacent paint so the ghost image of the original text still remains.

Factory exhaust hangers still in place:

Nice quarter bottoms. The tack welds were perfect with no rust anywhere:

Here's a video clip of the engine running. Sounds rather docile. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Here's the 1976 receipt for the engine work. If only the prices were the same today.

That video sums up why I love muscle cars. Thanks for the reminder Steve!
