No new photos for everybody. Been working with side glass & regulators. Found out the left regulator will actually bolt into the right hand door so I had to fix that. Adjusting the glass is time consuming. Installed 1/4 louvers, door locks, & door handles. That little bit adds to the color. Next is to do the trunk spatter. I will try the can I have & hope for the best. More pictures to follow....Joe

OK. Here's a question. I know it's something most of you would never encounter but at 157,000 miles, this car still has about 90% of it's original exhaust system. The muffler was change some years back with a NOS GM muffler. The system is still solid as it can be moved around the shop in one piece. I would like to continue using it but would like to clean it up.....maybe.
Now the question. What would you do to save & reuse this system? Thank you, Joe

Did some cleaning on the tail pipes today after moving the car to another bay. Cleaned up pretty good for being 51 years old & 157k miles. I'll clean some more tomorrow. Found numbers on the LH tail pipe in 2 different location. There's one on the RH but I'll have to wait till I turn it over. Interesting how the RH was 2 piece & the LH was 1 piece.....Joe

Those are coming out really nice Joe. What are you using to clean them up like that?
