Eric,

How about this? The car is finished and driving now, just not painted yet. Going to wait until its a bit cooler (was 112 today here) before doing the paint.

There are a lot of finished backdated cars out there, I just went a bit futher than most and actually grafted a '72 model front section onto my '85 model car so that its just like an early car.

Photos are here, 2/3rds down the page.
