X2, It's such a huge Fail when you see a new Paint Job and there's no paint where the Front carpet's gonna be. What's so hard about giving that a spritz as well?

regarding the front fenders, I have been told by mutiple people the pre 55 fenders are like split window other than the horn grill. I believe they will still be incorrect (even with dimples and drain holes removed) as pre '55 have different shape around head lite.

Please correct me if I'm incorrect.

Just wondering what your plans are to secure the left-to-right headlight harness in the spare tire well, there's no securing tabs spot-welded above the harness channel.

And what are the extra holes under the dome light contact switch holes in the A-pillar?

A shame if that awesome Reed Green got laid down without having a plan there.

Not hating on the car, just wondering what's going on.

Glad you said you weren't Hating on the car there Templeofspeed or I'd swear you were picking on it......(j/k) The "Extra" holes are for the Security "Lazer's" and I've got a Real Purdy new roll of Duct Tape for all the errant wire's hanging around...... Shocked


(Sometimes you just can't remember everything....they got forgot)
