Many heartfelt congratulations to you.  You won't ever have any regrets I believe

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

  We've got another "scoop light" brother in the group now.  Enjoy the ride.

Thank you gentlemen! Need to fix the side stripes, find a set of painted headlight rings, and if time and money permits I may even remove the lemans stripes. On the fence about the passenger side mirror. Grateful to have her, already put a few hundred miles on. I can't believe I own this car!!

If you are considering removing the LeMans stripes sometime in the future you may want to replace the all fiberglass hood with the correct steel innerstructure hood at the same time. That would be the best time to make that kind of change given ether one involves painting a hood . FYI the car looks great just the way it is but just thought I would make you aware in case there is a opportunity.I am glad the car found it's way into the hands of a appreciative and enthusiastic care taker.Enjoy.
