Shifter is out of the same era Corvette. As well as other transmission related parts. Maybe even the Bravada stuff will work?

Bravada is a negative. This is just about the only car with the exact length. Ended up getting one for $300+
Had a chance to take a couple more pics. Details, details...
Excuse the dust. It won't be there when finished... Desert winds.

Nice job. Black really looks deep. What brand did you use and if you don't mind what paint exactly? I have to be honest I dont like the Idea of the headlights, but if its what you like go ahead. Maybe I'm not seeing what you see.
I'll check for paint info. Painter says it's all in getting the mixture of the agents done properly. I can see he knows what he is talking about.
Headlights will be a weird twist. I like the stockers just fine. The extra grill will allow me the option of making it a temporary modification. I can display a stock build or custom build at will. They will potrude forward and hopefully will give it a wrap around headlight style like the new cars coming out. That depends on the fiberglass guy to make it work. If it doesnt, it's back to stock.

Paint is from NAPA. Hope this helps. I'm iggy when it comes to this stuff versus mechanical.

Thanks a bunch! I'll use this as a reference when it comes time to lay down my black coat. I understand there are hundreds of types of black paints. Im looking for something durable and not too $$. It really came out sleek looking.
Painter says durability isn't an issue as long as the chemicals react as designed. It's not the expensive stuff but more of an inbetween thing. He says that, for the most part, consumers pay for the name brand when it comes to the more expensive materials. Correct mixing makes or breaks the final outcome.

Hard to show paint without having everything around it get reflected...
