Great eye Allan.....as always
Have the rest of the side trim....LONG story
It will be going on today after work...
The trunk trim accelerates rot on these cars, so I am debating on leaving it off....the ww trim I cleaned and greased before returning to car.......

Now it's a 114 mph car!!!

I would keep the trim Ted, after all while it may see a fair bit of summer cruising it likely won't see any winter weather anymore. And besides, you have plenty of room to store things.

Decided not to be so cheap and put some new bumpers on the old girl...
Parts Place had them to my door in 2 days...
All things considered, they lined up well....

That's not the same car that you started with Ted!
Now it's a sure winner over the 70, and maybe up to 118 mph car. Great job sir!

....unless you put some black striping on the 70. I think it needs something there to break up all the silver...then it'll be hard to predict the winner. Too bad there's no W25 hood for the 68, that would increase the cool factor by about 400%.

Thanks Steve.....it's already plated and on the road.
Took it to its first show last weekend......needless to say it was the only 68 there

Hard to believe eh Allan.

Ya, the 70 seems to have a lot of silver.

The 442 is a cruiser for now, the 70 is a stress reliever

Thanks for the compliment

Ted
