    i pulled the rails off the side of the car today. gona weld up the holes and grind em smooth. I think its a nice clean looks without them. i need a gxt or 40th anniversary spoiler if anyone has one for sale. Looking for some fiberglass vented fenders also. let me know if someone has some they want to unload.

    Ive been doing alil here and there work on my car. I bought some roof rails and a SLP style spoiler from rockauto(good price)

    Ive done some body work filled and smoothed the bumpers, deleted the front arrow head and have filled the holes from the side trim. Just need a new passenger door and finish the rear quarter and ill be ready for paint.

    Ive decided to dip it black and paint the spoiler roof rails front grills and lower center of the front bumper red

    ill post pics tomorrow of my progress

    Is it "right"? Technically no but it looks fixed. Opinions will vary but its your car so none of that matters. Applause for not being scared to cut something and patch it!
    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.
