anyone photoshop?
i am undecided as to which color to paint my air-dam, red like the rest of the car, or black. im hoping some one here might be able to photo-shop the air dam red so i can compare the two opinions welcome thanks all

door panels
my backings are the problem. age and water damage. im thinking that if the 280 backings are the same or very close, i have a much better chance of finding good 280 backings and re-skining them.

door panels
i am looking for door panels. it looks like panels for a 72 are NLA, so im wondering if panels from a later year can be modified to fit (new vinyl, maybe re-locate some holes) i found 72 nos panels on ebay for $875, and new 280 panels for $300. anyone tried it?

sweatys rebuild
im still waiting on parts interior parts , and the engine is pretty much done, so i figured i may as well get the rest of the body work done. tried finding inner fender seals, not much luck, and $30 each? no thanks. did a little searching and found this at slum depot. $14 for 16 feet of rubber seal i ended up trimming the 90* end off, leaving about 3/4" and the 45* angled part. a bit of weatherstrip adhesive and i have new fender seals for a lot less $$$ fenders are on. still need a little final adjustment, but looking good

+1 looks nice- sweatys rebuild
finally!! car is running good. got the webers synchronized and it seems that all the jetting is fairly good, but i wont know for sure until i get it out on the road under a load. one sensor for the front 3 cylinders and one for the back 3. this is at idle- Original 1972 Hello Kitty Gas Door
it was kind of a joke.- Z Lingerie. "Le Bra"
that is almost mean, but i would do the same thing - Classic car insurance
