History
Just picked it up a couple of weeks ago. It's got a tired 350 in it, over 200k on the clock and a bad repaint job. Otherwise it's straight and rust free. A good candidate for my project plans. It's been several years and just when I think it's done, it's not, (much to my "accountant's dismay!).

Hey, you stole my paint scheme idea. :) I plan to go with a slightly softer gray color and full black accents. How did you prep the front bumper for paint? This is the one step i am not sure of. I have had some success on chrome with scotch brite to dull the finish then paintedright over it. It seems to work, but not wure of long term effect.

Cheers
