Dang fella. She's almost too purty to drive. Nizzzzze! Feel free to put up more pics.

Sweet72 · 12-23-2006, 10:07 PM

Looks great! Two questions for you:
1. What paint did you do the core support and inner fenders with?
2. What headers are those?
I see a possible new TOTM contestant.

dcpetty · 12-23-2006, 10:15 PM

I used chassis black. It's a semi gloss. And the headers are Hooker Super Comps. Thanks for the comments. I think it would be great to be TOTM, we will see if I get nominated. I started this project on May 1. This was a Birthday present from my wife. It was black when I got it and it had a few small isssues. A few months and a lot of $$$$$$ later I'm almost done. I only lack the interior.

**Yukon Jack** · 12-23-2006, 10:34 PM

Very, very nice!

jimmydean · 12-23-2006, 10:46 PM

The color is good 'ol torch red......and See Ten, I'll be there. I have been restoring cars and trucks for years and this is my first 67-72. I'm used to doing 47-53's and cars. I think I'm addicted to 67-72's now.

dcpetty · 12-24-2006, 11:32 AM

It's just a billet insert with a repop surround.
