My baby in her new home for the first time

[daves70]

Here's 2 pic's I took tonite of my baby in her new home for the first time. It's not completely done but we moved in anyway. A pretty good nite. We went to graffiti nite at Arnold Motor Supply and won best of show. Then I won the money in the 50/50 drawing. I'll sleep good tonite! Happy 4th everybody!!!!

A little late but way to go Dave  Looks like she's right at home.

Now...did I miss the pic of the new mirror also while I was away from the site

Good stuff Dave! 


Now, I know others have spotted it but as usually I'll say it.......are you going to look at painting the rad support area black? Those photos really show it and it' doesn't look "too" good. It's not the end of the world though and can be fixed reasonably easily. 

Apart from that it's one hell of a sweeeeeeeet ride.

I looked at quite a few E-body engine bays before posting this and almost all of them had the rad support the same color as the car.

If you do a search you'll find it's incorrect. But, if you're happy with it, by all means keep it that way. 

Just IMO it takes all the attention away from the 70's catch point - the grille!! Though some people may want to see the radiator support and behind grille pieces, I'm not sure. Just an idea as I made sure I done it and was told to along with other parts of my car. Without this site my car would have lots of pieces incorrect etc. A lot of guys on this board are quick to brown nose but won't put there hand up for constructive criticism. At the end of the day it will make your ride look twice as good with minimal effort. If it were my car I'd want someone to tell me.....

It's like having a boogey hanging out your nose but no one will tell you - I will. 

Photos below, showing the grille difference.
First is non-black rad support  second is blacked out rad support. 

The last photo is showing the factory diagram for painting the area.

To each his own.

I understand NZ. Thanks, but I don't know if I'm going to paint it right now or not. It's not a big issue and nobody else has made a comment about it. Dave.

[Carlwalski]

No worries, just pointing it out. I'm guessing most people wouldn't say it, maybe I shouldn't have either.
But if it were my car I'd want people to not only be nice but also to help me and pick up on things.
