This was taken last fall. Made a few changes that I'll post when the weather cooperates, but I just had to play with the Attachment Manager. Learned to post pics! Can't wait for more topless days!

Thanks alot dropit. Had to do both. The exterior came with the car when I got it off Ebay! (That's another story- I really didn't believe I would get the car with only 20 secs. left and the reserve not met). But that's the only thing I didn't change. The car was advertised as a restored SS with a 350/300 hp but I doubt that was true. Not original motor-327 out of a Nova with a cam.

what are those mirrors off of?

GM Sport mirrors, 70-81 I believe. Camaro, Shevelle, Firebird...My friend, the purist, didn't like the idea of the mirrors. I told him if you had bought the car new and a few months later seen and liked that 2 gen style you could have had those put on! He didn't buy it. He hasn't seen them yet. He also doesn't care for the PT idea, but everything I've done with a PT idea he has liked. I think I'm making progress with his attitude.

Classic Concepts. Check the web. The lens is clear so the amber is bighter. The driving lights are nice, as brite as my dse brite lites. easy install. I'm sorry, that should be Morris Classic Concepts.
