Not trying to be rude , just don't know the reasons .
  Thanks

Shaker I should have completed gauges and other stuff to post by the weekend.

Josh, some parts we used rust o leum on and others we used krylon. Some of the krylon cans were so old they wouldn't spray so we poked holes in em and drained the paint and applied it with pine tree branches. Which parts are you referring to? We'll put a second coat on and see if that helps.

A little more paint today! That front spoiler has lived in 4 states and been over 3000 miles since I bought it from a closed GM dealership in Little Rock Arkansas back in 1996. It was in the original box when I got it. Talk about long range planning. LOL Actually bought it for another 76 that never made it to paint

After looking at the pics very carefully I discovered that the front spoiler pictured is not mine. Its for a 77. I will be posting correct pics of the spoiler tomorrow.

Picked my gauges up last week. They turned out really nice. Kinda pricey...but they did a nice job.

I ordered my exhaust system finally. It arrived Tuesday! Complete Pypes System. Single muffler (Racepro)in stock location with x pipe and tucked straight pipes. 2.5 inch system including the tips. Hopefully installed soon.


Packaging sucked but overall looked good.
