I've seen this guy on other g-body boards. Heard good things so far.

 

[futten]

already know about the guy but 240 bucks in parts and with shippin the total came to 505 CAD instead i bought the same parts from charlief1 for 50 bucks the shipping still wont be cheap but its still 200 saved in parts and maybe even the shipping will be cheaper but i did order the body mounts from conrad for 70 dollars

So what color are you going to paint it? Flat black like Fleebag`s GN would be sweet:biggrin:

 

[futten]

either black gloss or gun metall like this

 

[FlintBuick4Life]

Gun metal would look awesome the trim and all? That`s how I would do it.

 

[futten]

most of the trim will be replaced with aluminum that will have a satin brushed finish the theres a small chance that it will be metallic paint sins 80s nascar mostly had solid paints

if you have a garage you can paint it. i did my car in a garage and it turned out just fine. i even have a few trophies. why pay big money for something you can do...

finaly got the rear window out after nervously using a hot air gun and the windshield remover and after removing the rear window i found this big blob of fiberglass bondo to fix the rust hole
