    Slowly but surely I'm stripping off the paint from the top of that radiator, I can already see some of the brass coming through.. looks a hell of a lot better!

    I need to get some plexiglass to cut for some new lenses... after that I'm gonna paint that bumper black...

    There you can see the column shifter that doesn't want to come off...

    Looks like a good project car! Someone down there must have a grill that will fit your car! I have a few here..but not sure I want to travel all that way with it in my back seat. If the bumper from Luckyirishpride dons'nt pan out I have another option ..I may be buying a rechromed rear bumper while I am down your way(I hope too anyway)..if I do I will trade you mine for yours(I have to give one as a core)perhaps for a nominal fee. Mines is straight and shiny..but not quite show quality. We can talk about it when I get there...

    I'm definitely looking for a straight rear bumper, I mean as long as it's the same kind as mine lol But yeah, when you are in the area.
