Re: Looking for some thoughts/insight on my JL8 resto
Jeff...Are you doing the assembly of the car or are you paying to have it done? If you are paying, think about paying them twice if you go the non-stock route. You may get it done, decide you want stock afterall, and then you will pay again for the changes. Or vice-versa, if you go stock to begin with.

Re: Looking for some thoughts/insight on my JL8 resto
The X77 I'm doing right now is a flat hood with no spoilers.

Re: Looking for some thoughts/insight on my JL8 resto
My vote is for stock, flat hood and no spoilers. Cowl hood, spoilers and even cross rams have been done to death.

Re: Looking for some thoughts/insight on my JL8 resto
Were the cameras back then difficult to aim? Seems like the car is cut off in many of the vintage pics.

Re: Looking for some thoughts/insight on my JL8 resto
Yes the C-120 ? point and shoots often had misalignment between the view finder and the lens, and that funny black cloth HOOD got in the photog's way often!
Don't even get these old timers started about the flash powder!
