i think it was awesome when it was gramma green :D i was looking into doing a ladder bar in my 78 bu but i just cant seem to pick up the pace and get going, but its not like i need it, im turboed so it launches soft(1.60 60's) and really goes like hell about 100 feet out. i like what you got going on, cant wait to see the finished product :itchy:

Working on wet sanding most of the car now, and assembling what we can. Still have to paint a few parts, trim etc. The VFN 4" cowl hood fit really well but still gotta maek soem adjustments and slot the hinges.
Anyways, without further ado I think I owe you guys some more pics... :twisted:

The paint job makes it look 100x better than b4. Ask your cuz what kid of gun he's shooting the paint with.

Another update from tonight. Bumper is narrowed, tucked. Put on some pinstriping and removed the dash.
The bumper is only using the skin right now, might make a support to go in there but this is no worse than having a fiberglass one on there.
