3 coats of ceramic wax and now it’s ready to come home. I’ve still got to replace the hacked out floor hump with a perfect southern one I cut out, rebuild the callipers, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder, remove the headers and install the proper dated manifolds, smog, and complete NOS exhaust system. Hopefully drive it in a month or so.

The only part of the interior that needed to be repaired was the drivers seat. I sent it to my buddy Will and he repaired the original covers with original material I had from other original seat covers. Looks pretty good.

Picked my car up from the body shop on Sunday. Now I’m finishing the small mechanical items so I can drive it. 👍🏻

I’ve put just about 550 miles on the car so far this summer. I’ve decided to put the NOS exhaust system and manifolds on the car and ditch the headers. I also decided to pull the transmission and replace the clutch. I was able to see the partial vin on the transmission with a mirror but couldn’t get a good picture of it. Now I could 👍🏻
