Making moves there huh! Are you painting it yourself or are you having your brother do it? Maybe I can stop by after work next weekend and check out the fresh paint :D

Featherburner 05-06-2012 02:38 PM

Any reason you went with a 69 front bumper?

chrisfrom nj 05-06-2012 05:04 PM

i like the parking lights a lot better on the 68-69, they are smaller whereas the 70 and up are large. its not anything special, just a 4 cylinder car so i figure im going to do it to my liking rather than back to its original self.

thanks! hopefully by end of summer now im just saving after i paint the front end. ive got a crank, heads, block and some accessories, i need to buy a trans, run my fuel lines, machine the heads and buy a rotating assembly.
