3000teeth

I got the bumper beading from Roger, front and back for $22.50 and used bumper shocks for cheap from his buddy Mark. Forgot what I paid for those and can't find the invoice, but I think around $35 or so.

Since your not sure about paint might i suggest to use Glassurit base and Glassurit medium build clear,
It will also be critical what temperature thinner you use as you dont want it flashing off too fast so the clear will flow.
With the silver you could also throw in some blue pearl in the base and clear then it will pop in the fluorescent lights

Stan, I like the idea of the blue pearl. I am assisting a fellow who will be doing the work so I'll pass that along. He has way more knowledge than I on the material end of things.

3000- Love to get some pasha in there, have to wait for awhile. There is another 78 near me that is blue with pasha interior.

What's wrong with me? We do I love these cars so much? Why do I think the '78 without strips is one of the most beautiful cars (and silhouettes) since they were introduced and or decades after that. And why doen't the classic car market reflect that, given those rediculous low prices?

Patience, grasshopper! There are still neglected tubs on the market for dirt-cheap, and also for more than that sometimes. At some point the tub supply will dwindle and the few that are left will drift up in market value. Still too many early cars still running just good enough, and they are dragging the market.

How are the wheel wells? My rear right-hand side had plenty of rusted brackets that needed replacing. Brackets for fuel line, tank filler neck, fuel accumulator, etc. I had to make them new. These are not available as parts.

The car was from Texas and was never driven in the winter,clean as a whistle underneath. Truly great cars and completely undervalued.
