    Thanks for all the comments, I just trying to keep up with most of you guys. Seth, I will post a couple shots showing the front and back of the car and the strip detail. Tomorrow I want to show you guys the interior, the seats match the outside.

    First the front

    I have never been a big fan of the four doors but then again most that I have ever seen have always been original and I am not a big fan of the factory look. BUT that is a very sweet looking car man............WAY TO GO :cool:

    big bumpers ... yeah

    Super clean and super nice looking. I like the stipes, and it looks like you ran them all the way through. As in onto the plastic piece between bumper and car. (I know it has a name, but what?) This may be a silly ??, but my '74 has bumper guards front and back(2 black rubber deals on the bumper) when did this stop happening? Anyways, beautiful car. :)

    That's one nice lookin' ride. It's good to see someone taking pride in their four-door.

    cost update!!!!

    Just got the back from the front end shop. Now I need to make a slight cost adjustment in what I have spent so far, from 6k to 7k. We replaced the entire front end. I don't know how many of you are still running the stock Power Steering Assist, but if yours was like mind you could be in for some trouble. When we loosened the bolt that was holding it on the hold thing went into 3 or 4 pieces. I was glad it was up on the lift and now going 70 down the interstate when it let go.
