Rust repaired on new body and installed on chassis.
I really want indicators too apart from just having the semaphores. I modified the bumpers with some motorcycle indicators.

I love your idea for the blinker in the overrider, it looks great without taking anything away from the car itself.

Thanks, I really didn't want to drill any holes in the fenders or use later style tail lights or front indicators.

Getting there slowly.
I tinted all the windows at 35%, I just can't for the life of me tint the rear window because of the curve. I think I'll need a professional to do

It's coming together nicely.
Looks like a decent donor body, was there much rust to repair?
Not long now and you'll be cruising!

Thanks
The body was actually very good, only simple sections needed repair.
