so no, the red one I posted is not a real slant nose? wonder what his certificate of authenticity is? he is asking 38k for that red one.
thanks for clarifying that!
ok I see the little lift points on the side of this one , http://assets.hemmings.com/uimage/13...70-0.jpg?rev=5
thanks!
Well, what you have to cut is the quarters so you can weld the flare on. And then cut into that for the venting. Not terribly difficult, just take your time. Biggest hassle was the usual POS front fender fitting (mine were always sourced from Mexico via a guy I met whose brother-in-law had a steel stamping factory), and getting the headlight doors correct.

LOL, I love the way you express yourself!! 
I've come back around to disliking the slope nose. It really screws up the lines. Love the rear break ducts, but think the front fenders are a total misfit for the car....and to think of all the added weight involved just totally kills if for me.....so Ed is right, Douglas would be drooling all over this one...but not anymore.
And who color matches centers and polishes lips on a pearl car?
