Don't forget to paint the top edge of the tailight chrome black.

Does this car have it JS27? It is a numbers car.  :thumbs:

I have seen some cars with or without it black.  :???: See attached photo.  :)

WOW!  The tire and wheel combo looks great!  So does the rest of the car!  Everything looks squeaky, brandy new!  Can't wait to see the car when it's done!  Keep up the good work! :thumbs:

Thanks lads!  :beer:

I went back around to settle a bill and they said they will be installing the Hood liner and glass next week.  :guitar:
They will also be fitting the rear speakers, panels, amp, CD Changer and a few other odds and ends.


Trunk and front fenders will be on within 2 weeks if all goes to plan. Shes coming along nicely.  :thumbs:

Once the car is "complete" I'm going to walk around it inch by inch making sure everything is right or correct to how I want it.
If not I will let them know and they will correct the problem.

It might be Better/Faster/Cheaper if you do that BEFORE the car is complete...... like continuously, section at a time instead.    
Just an observation based on experience.

Why did that Cuda on eBay have 4 pairs of round taillights ?    ;)   


SE cars have an Argent Trim panel above the taillights.  And Theyre about 650 US$ for a nice one.
