When you get the red strobe stripe on those tail lights might look better in red?  :dunno:

 Yes, The tail lights will be blacked out. Probably tint.   I don't like the rattle can smoke.    Not gonna dull the edges on the tips.  The black really makes em disappear though.  Rolled her out and pushed the button,  Not running too good. Carb.  Leakn at the linkage and  maybe the acc. pump.  Uhg.  Always the carb. after they sit.  Hm. Can't swing the efi 6.  Maybe a fast or quick fuel TBI.    Tired of edelbunk.   Throttle needs serious adjusting,I'll hafta mess around with it.   Hood is still just sittn there, Pins are in But no spring(s) or bumpers. Fits pretty good!   :swaying:  Come on glass dudes!

   Thanks Yeah, I forget it moves!!    Had a great fathers day, Went back home and rented a new charger. Took DaD out to a local drive-in and got burgers.  Miss him.   Got back yesterday.  Too short a weekend.   
To the shop this afternoon,Got a rebuild kit for the carb. Been havin hassles gettn her to run right.  Well,Took the carb. off to find a bent primary throttle plate! Hmm crazy!!  Must have caught it on something somewhere and didn't notice it. Got that straightened out. Fired her up to find #5&7 mixed up on the plugs.  That will make anything run bad. Ha!   SO IT'S RUNNIN' SWEET NOW!!! :cool dancing:   Can't tell you how much some good news helps right now with this !!  Even more inspiration to pull some long nights soon!!  Tryin as hard as I can and it's not enough.  Time to put it into overdrive now!! :burnout:

I'd have gotten more done but friends keep stopping by to drool. They are gettn' excited too.   :woo:

Every car you do is top drawer quality wise. You sure are " driven" to perfection more than most and it shows in your work!  :worshippy :clapping: :2thumbs:  When I think of a "perfect" paint job your cars always come to mind first!
