Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Hey guys, new here!

Looks good. Almost original, but sometimes that really happens when the fuel pressure regulator or line o-rings leak, lol. Or VC gaskets.

Sure did. Everything was painted except for the engine bay. I actually got pretty lucky when I bought the car back in 08 from a salvage yard. I bought it for $4000 with about 75k on it and the only things wrong with it was a broken window (the small one on the rear door), the front tip of the hood was bent and the driver door rubbed a lil bit when you opened and closed it. Pretty easy and cheap fixes. I found a brand new OEM replacement hood on CL from a guy that works at the GM plant here in Arlington for $50! and the lower lip for $25. I was hoping to try and locate the guy or shop that painted the car though because I want to repaint the car the same color but I have no idea what color code he/they used. It's a salvage title from Oklahoma. I'm guessing it's next to impossible.

Wow, very cool. as far as paint color, a good independent body shop can probably look at it and give you a good idea. One I go to here in houston has told there are scanners like they use to match house paint that can get very close. Then you could get samples and go from there.
 


Thanks guys. No the flame job is not my work. Had an airbrush artist do it for me from a bodyshop that I am considering having all of my bodywork done at but I am trying them out piece by piece. Also working on a lil surprise that I hope no one has done yet. Well actually I have seen 1 or 2 but not very good. Stay tuned for that!!
