Thanks guys ! Glad ya like , All original but the fenders Jeff. Had a few big dents I had to hammer out. Match'd the paint and added flattening agent to it. Then rubbed car out and then rubbed new paint lightly till everything matched there are quite a few tiny spot jobs . Car is far from perfect , But I just wanted a nice driver.
