:nod::nod::nod::nod::nod::nod: Looks great, but that roof :shock:

I meant to say RPM customs, get ready hardcore, Im calling you very soon ha...

As for the roofs, they were dealer installed back in 78 and honestly they give me points in some shows. I would rather have T-Tops, but it's a lot of work to weld in new metal and everything there so I decided to just keep it how it is.

Thanks for all the comments!

Sounds good man.....give me a shout when you're ready

andy78TA 06-05-2011 06:48 PM

haven' been on in awhile but figured I would give an update. The decals are on thanks to Paul at RPM customs, and I was able to find a matching set of front recaro seats from indiana. New carpet, new gauges, and new engine brackets have been installed also.

For your viewing pleasure
