    Color matched the hood to original paint on the rest of the car, and taped off the hood striping. Also pinstriped the side.

    Been a few months since I have worked on it but got close to done with cutting out rust and body work on passenger side last summer. This week starting at the rear on the drivers side, fun most of the time but not always... just have to stop work when it gets to be like a job.

    I'm not sure about the fit as I have not installed it yet. Others have and are happy with it.

    I finally had to get a new battery for Patches.
    If I would have it off the tender for a week or more it would be slow turning over. it would crank but weak. and that's not good for EFI. Effie and I met Jeff a Summit and picked up a new...Optima red top, that thing weighs a ton and was a little over $300.:yup:

    went to move the car over to the lift bay and no E fuel pump.
    lucky it happened in the shop but not so lucky it was in the wrong bay.
    went through a few hoops but got it there.

    pulled the pump and found out why it didn't work. the power wire connection was eaten off at the mounting lug, and what it looked like new. this car was started and ran up to temp almost every other week during the winter.

    no and the gas that was drained out was clean.
    I guess I caught it before it came apart.
