I feel bodywork is an art, and that is one brush that is not in my tool kit.

Your cars body looks like a perfect project to do bodywork on. Minimal and not much metal work it appears. After seeing quotes of 10-15 grand from others, I'm doing my own. It's not that hard overall but there will be areas of challenge at times. If everyone ducked out on challenges in their life, nothing would ever be accomplished in this world. I say go for it.

definitely a nice project there. I am envious also, but for different reasons. I like the way it looks now!
Call me crazy but I love the beater look.
Then again, I also love my car, and cudagirls is awesome also. Would love to have that orange sitting next to my limelight.

I got my AR torque thrust 2s from newstalgia also. Mine are 17x8 and 17x9.5. They fit well with 245 and 275 bfg g-force rubber...

I love the 71's....bills, gills and cheese grater grills

Thanks for the notes on the rims and tires.  It is always so hard to get the size you want to get the look you are after.
