Sublime green keeping  the #'s matching 318 /auto . just chaning the color and adding a cuda hood and dual exhaust valance. Dont want to go to crazy on the car due to the orgionality and paper work.

Been slacking a bit b/c of the weather. Got my cuda hood, dual cut out rear valance. Been looking for fenders for a while,everyone is out of there mind $500+ each for fenders that need work. So i made the decision to start work today.  These fenders need headlight bucket,lower dog legs, rear rail where the fenders botl on and top  front rust repair done. Today i spent an hour and patched the top of the fender.

Thanks BB71! I dont know about color yet,we were thinking sublime green but i think cadillac esclade pearl white with black interior and black stripe would look great with a set of chrome wheels. Paint is a while from now anyway so who knows!  I snuck in some work before the guest arrived just before. Patched the side edge of the fender where it bolts to the inner fender.... i think it came out good, it was a hard patch to do with the edge of the fender right there keeping the body line straight. Im very happy with it,just a little more to finish it.need to order the lower dog leg patches and my driver side inner fender next.  HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!!!!
