After several months of work and learning new skills (welding, painting, basic body work) finally have my 75 in color. Next up is putting it all back together, so far have replaced drivers side floor pan and farme rail, welded new steel on the inner front fenders, patched a hole in rear wheel arch, new bushings thru out, ball joints, tie rod ends, struts, brakes, new e-brake cable, all new weather stripping for all windows and the doors, lots of new nuts and bolts, new intake/exhaust studs, polished intake and throttle body, new water pump, radiator tested, cleaned and sealed, injectors cleaned and refurbished with new o-rings and seals, all new fuel line and clamps. Yet to do, new exhaust system, put in sound deadener, replace all the interior vinyl (A-pillar, etc), put all the lights back on, put carpet and seats back, then fire it up and take a spin. Here are a couple of pics of it in color.

Wow, great job there 45, love the stripe.
