New Year update.
Saw it yesterday. Alignment good but rear axle (tires) off center (talking millimeters but significant). Above my pay grade. Few details (hidden antenna, small paint chip, glue handles on small vent windows, etc.,). They salted the roads yesterday, hope it's gone next week.

Very nice. I hope mine looks like yours when it done :) I was debating on putting the left rear bumper with the back up lite, I have it.but the new bumpers I have does not have that indent for that so I was going to send the original one in to get rechrome so then I can use that one

I really like your choice of battery. It's the details that make the whole thing harmonious.

I love the 120 racing red! I am getting ready to paint my '79 and want to use this same color. Would you know by chance the brand of base coat?
