Wow, That is looking really great.

Back in 1989, I was like a kid on Christmas Day when I got all the chrome back for my 51, including the Stainless.  I ttook me 3 days to carefully put it all on the car.  That was soo much fun to see the car come together after 2 years apart.

When I bought mine a year ago I told my wife all I was going to do was drive it. Then came the white walls, then cleaning it out underneath and then it bothered me that it was tan and not Caribbean Coral. All that happened in about the first week of owning it.

I move pretty fast but the chrome was deadly slow as has been the paint job. I've got a guy hanging a headliner in it now. Found where I could buy one but they did not have the right color. I hunted down the material both for the head liner and wind lace and sent to the company. They used my material but charged me the same. Once he is out of the way I'll put the new insides in. Shooting for mid August.

I'm missing one bolt that is long and goes through the bumper guard. If anyone has one plies elect me know.
