Good looking ride and it seems you're doing it right.

I like the mirrors. What are they from? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 205 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 205 | Thanks guys....... It's been a long road and alot of blood sweat and a big pocket book. Let's see bodyshop #1 $2000. #2 $3500. and the final shop. $7200. One expensive paint job.
Everybody make sure your bodyshop is reliable. GET REFERENCES....
Cletis the mirrors are off a 71 Camaro
Can't wait to finish this one and start on my 61 Impala Bubbletop.
