Great car those braces are huge I'd rather make some like the F41 ones but that's just me. Hopefully those aluminum pieces didn't bend while taking them out, they are a real pain to get straight and no one makes new ones for some reason

yeah people are kind of mixed on the braces. I like them and I think it will fit with the pro-tourin look I'm going for.

I took my time on the interior taking it apart and putting it back together, but the front trim was a PITA due to the windshield was replace and who ever replaced it was glue happy and it got all on the front trip. made for taking it apart a pain.

Great job. Where did you get the top plate extenders?

 

[Donutboy97]

I got them from Dixie Monte Carlo, but my friend tiped me on this site after the fact, which is way cheaper

A little more work done today, cleaning up the engine bay.

Before:

GOLD!!!! :shock:

All done. Trying out the color on the braces, seeing if I like it. I realise that it's not complete so the gold may not look right now, but this is the start of my theme.
