Welcome to PY Martin! Good to see your bouncing around the net.
Its always nice to see a new wheels and yours sports a great killer combo. After those center caps your turn signal bezels should be white to match the car. Easy fix and thought you might want to know?
Enjoy the site,
Brew

For some reason I read "caps", but thought "rings".... it was the rings (more polished than the factory ones) that I like.

Didn't even notice the caps...

Had to ask! LOL
Started out factory deluxe white 72 interior, graduated to 81 doors, so went 81 Recarro, yes red carpeted door panels and red carpet, and white headliner. will use 2002 Formula ebony Leather front seats, which will be a almost direct bolt in, untill I can get the front 81 recarro seats redone. I figured bering purple, it wouldnt conflict with white or red, but the purple is a bit dark. Its a basic 1 of none.
should confuse ANY shark!! LOL
factory parts from 66 to 2002 on it! Wonder if anyone could guess the 66 part LOL
This car ( shell) came from Steve Barcak ( Pontiac Heaven) many many years ago. Was factory air, till I got a 70 firebird parts car next to it and put back to non ac, with correct vents.
Shaker455 redid the carb and tuned it, runs sweet.
lots of slow assembly work comming now
PS car was painted apart, now Ill have to have the rewiring of electric locks and windows, etc done

Bruce,

The panel fitment on your car looks really good. And I agree with Bossbird, the trim will really make that color pop.

looks like the hood screens are going to have to be "argent silver" to even be noticed.
I sold the originals, yeah, in favor of nice honeycomb ones that match the grilles !
the fit is pretty good, lots of coaching my Camaro buddy, and lots of pics from this site.
Im not 100 satified with all the spots I wanted addressed, but its nice
Car was 95% rust free.

Looks great and is only going to look better with the add ons making it bling.
Is the 66 part the rear view mirror, Bruce?

Are you adding any Formula strips or pin stripping?

I hadnt planned formula stripes but I like them. Probably would conflict with the purple?
The 66 part is the oil filler cap ( says the oil and weight)
I hate the newer ( and stock) cheesy looking oil filler caps on chrome covers...
Stupid pet peve lol
