She's finally finished

Just shy of two years at the body shop and she is finished up. Just a minor delay on the upholster shop that has drug their feet on recovering the visors..
1976 Cutlass 442 Original exterior as was when I was a kid, changed engine to a 455 and changed the gears to a 3:42 with an Auburn above OEM limited slip. True dueled out with the use of a cross over from a 69 cutlass. 2.5" exhaust, turbo mufflers. Hurst shifter.

Interior pics when I get done putting it in.

Thanks for all the comments ! The color is the color option off the ID tag, and then Dupont (I think is what they used) had several options. We matched it up the best we could with the under hood of the original trunk deck lid. It was rusted so went with one from DVAP in Arizona.

There are a lot more pics on my profile side, two albums from the progress from the body shop.

It is a ISU plate Don71/cherokeepeople ! Went to ISU for AST and agronomy.

Funny Paxtonshelby, just watched that movie !
