Hi everyone,i didnt post anything since a long time so there he go.

So i start by installing the doors windows,i dont have the rubber seal yet but i will order them later.


Got my doors trim,door and window handle and my arm rest install.Im gonna have to repaint my armrest later.


I found this mirror in a box,the original one are in very bad shape and the glass is broke so im gonna install this one for now.After a good polishing job that how it look like.I will put it lower than this,it was just a test.

Work a lot on my front fender sign,scratching all the old paint,polish them and i decide to paint the inside of the letter white.



I install front and rear marker and new bulb to,im lucky,all the original parts are still in good shape,if not i can always stole them from my 2 others GM.


Time to put the cover on it and work on my front grill.Lot of work to do on it.Im wondering how it would look if i paint the plastic white?? I did lot of research and never saw one here.



Now im working on the front bumper,its in bad shape to but it can be done,nothing impossible.My friend went to daytona see the nascar race and is suppose to stop at years one to pick a bumper for hes duster 72 and a few parts for me.Rear bumper,new floors mat and a paded dash.When i get this,sandblast both bumper and paint them white.Picture to come....
