Were did you get that suff?
My friend Brian gave it to me, I'll ask him.
Finished up my mood lighting on the front and rear. Sorry for the crappy pics, they make the light look ten times brighter than they really are.

Sweet,now when are you going to paint it?
Planning on painting tomorrow. Seats are coming back out, painting the rear pan base/clear dark fawn and seat backrests dark fawn.
Lookin' good Seth! I don't know if I would paint it!

Thanks Dick!
As far as the exterior goes, there will be NO painting going on. I've got three coats of the best urethane clear on the patina. However, the rear pan does need some color treatment as well as the backrest and 9 pass seat bun panels.

Thank you, Thank you.
The L.E.D.s I bought from my local auto parts store. The manufacturer is Alpena, they are flexible strips (2) in a package and 24" a piece I bought two packages, they run about $24.99 per package.
Thank you 58 Apache!
Well, Edelbrock just sent my vintage finned valve covers back from warranty, I still have to do a few little things like install my newly rebuilt lower control arms, rebuild the Moraine Delco Power Brake Booster, and rebuild the Delco single speed wiper motor.
Also, I need to get some miles on the new engine before I upgrade the horses under the hood. I really want the Weiand #144 Blower, but I don't know if it will clear without modifying the hood. Perhaps, a Paxton supercharger or even Twin Turbos for "Old Gold".
The fun will continue, but for the most part she's ready to hit some cruise nights and car shows.

A majority of the componets are polished aluminum and not chrome. Besides, the AC Compressor and Alternator, the only pieces that are chrome are the Alan Grove Brackets that I had plated since Alan only sells them in raw steel.
Thanks for the compliment Jim!
