I'll keep an eye out for you.
I was only asking since they aren't repro'd and NOS is SCARCE.

So far the motor has been p/u from the machine shop the sub frame has been powder coated, I dropped the headers off to be ceramic coated and I will drop the upper and lower a frames, sway bars, trans cross member, and leaf springs off to be powder coated.

Hey Brett, these are the wheels I talked to you about refinishing. Can you match the paint and what would it cost?
Thanks

Thanks Hammer, a guy I worked with in Miami got those stickers for me. As far as the car I know what you mean a friend of mine is doing most of the work I seem to be the guy that get's this and that, and asks when will this be ready.
