    I love it, and I think it would look great in that yellow with the flat black tail panel. What colour will you paint it?

    Wow, looks great! More inspiration for my own project that I hope to finish one day.

    How do you do the wheel well treatment, "fixing the lip" so to speak?

    I still don't see the difference in the door handles, are they smaller? Got a pic from dead on front? I really like the exhaust in the middle, just grabs my attention. I've always wondered what it would take to sink the headlights back a bit into the fenders and smooth it out, kinda like the mustangs. Anyhow, looks like alot of work paid off. :)
