    I like this build a lot, it first bothered me that you didn't remove the rust completely the first time, and used fibreglass to "repair" the holes. however, I think you had in mind to respray and redo the bodywork anyway so now I don't mind. I hope you did use epoxy primer ;) as a rusty car owner myself, I know the importance of preventing rust lmao. last weekend I had in mind to repair a little rust hole under my door, that turned out to be half a car length of rust... which I had to cut out, haven't had time to patch the hole, but I did already clean the inside of rust and used Epoxy to seal the inside for preventing rust. love the car, paint has a few imperfections, but really good for a home sprayed car.

Instead of the black rivet look over each wheel well, I figured out a way to give it the wide look, without screwing a flare over each wheel. The car would have same look on the body as yours without having the screw on flares look- thanks bruh!

    Great Clip Mike, I should have kept my 280 two tone slick top, same blue and silver, great high speed cruiser, enjoy yours now, it will fly with a grunty barra, even without a turbo.

      Thanks Tim. You had one?! Ahhh the regret of selling old cars. I had many haha. Can’t wait to turbo her 😜
