Sorry to say no new updates. The kids have got me really busy these days. The painter didn't like the stripe kit that I got so they ordered a new one. It's taking forever to arrive. Once the stripe is on, the car can come home. Then I'll slowly put the interior back in. I'm hoping next year I can swap out the engine for something with some *****. Still want the big block but I'd be happy with a 350.
I'll post some photo's when I can.

I got the car home the other day. The body looks great but I still didn't get the stripe. The shop said the kit I got was wrong. They ordered a new one only to be incorrect again. The correct one seems to be on back order. The car still looks great in solid silver. I still have to put the grill and spoiler on. I tried to put on the spoiler but it doesn't look right. It should sit flush on the trunk lid right? Do I have to cut anything under the spoiler? It just doesn't sit right.

What do you mean by the spoiler doesn't look right? If you're referring to where the front and rear part looks a little jacked up to where you can almost stick your finger in the gap, then yes, that's right.

I had the same problem on my deck lid and I opened up the holes a little bit so the spoiler would sit down flush on the deck lid and look right.
I then took a hole punch and made rubber gaskets to slide onto the spoiler studs to prevent any water leaking into the trunk.
Did you decide to go with the hockey style stripe?

I still want the hockey stripe. The stripe I bought was half stencil half vinyl. The painter who was going to do it said it all should have been stencil. So we sent the kit back and were still waiting for the proper stencil kit. I blown the budget on the body so now the car is going to sit until next spring when I can hopefully pop in an nice engine. I'll try and get the interior over the winter and maybe new tires and rims too. I also have to find a better place to keep the car so I can work on it slowly. My garage is just to tight.
