Thanks!
Yeah but the clear is all coming off. Thinking about painting it a solid color, like a dark grey. I ordered some 2" drop coils for the front end, I want it to have the rake look. Hope my tires will clear the fenders, dont wanna buy new ones!

Update:

Added new some fender trim, working on cleaning up the engine compartment. Put a new carb on last week and new plugs and wires...

I have decided not paint it now, just going to leave it stock with the drop and wheels and work on the engine and interior. Hard for me to drop the cash to have it painted right now so I'm going to roll it the way it looks give it a little tlc as I can afford it.....

Starting to get it looking better & running better, the previous owner had lots of questionable stuff going on under the hood that I've been finding as I go along and fixing....

New Carb, New plugs n wires, New air cleaner.... going to change the valve covers around next, dont know why they put them on the way they did?
