Terry and Mike, I'm glad you noticed the bumpers. Yes, I've been whining about those bellows for years now. If the car was black they wouldn't bug me so much.
I took the car to a secret one man hot-rod specialist body and paint guy, who hand formed steel panels to replace the bellows, and welded them in. There are still slight overlap gaps just incase the bumper gets bumped. It was not cheap and it took forever to get done.
Tim, I am completely happy with the color! I've wanted that color since 82 or 84, whenever they first came out.
Felipe, the tires are BFG G-force, 215/55/16 front and 245/50/16 rear on 7 and 9 X 16 Euromeisters that I stripped and polished.
Otter & Ayles, I got about $4300 from the other guys insurance, so that paid for a good portion of the repaint and bodywork, but not all. We replaced the hood, and upgraded to H4s (with a relay) and of course, the bumpers. So I added some cash to the project.
