Nice job. Car looks great. I too like the color combinations.

Peter, it was great following you along over the years with your restoration. You took a lot of pride in the restoration and its correctness and it definitely shows. Conrats on a beautiful car.

I wanted to point out the first pic of the car back in the 70s .Look at the hood stripes they are square on the ends and not round. I guess this stripe was the first design.Also
the date on the pics are not correct It was restored in 2005
I could not change the date on the camera.

That's Omemee folks. Home town/village to yours truly. I remember this car sitting at the west end of the village many years ago. Didn't know the people and didn't know that it was an L78 car. I thought that it was dark gray. Must have lost a few more brain cells than I thought. I've talked to Peter at Haugen's cruise night a couple of times. Will hopefully meet up and see the car in person. Looks good.

Outstanding resto Peter! I've seen the car at our local cruise night before and after the transformation and the attention to detail is over the top! You can tell that this one was built to keep!
