Looked great before. I'm sure it will be outstanding after.

I don't feel any loss for my original paint. It was all checked.

Good time to work on the engine!

The factory paint on my car was very poor. Did look god at 20 feet, most importantly....

In response to your TAC post, you won't find red seatbelts sleeves. Even the ones you have pics of are both reproductions and both painted. They are poor quality and more suited to 74-76 depending on belt type, which was also not advertised by the seller. I have a set, not cheap to import, can't give them away here. But regardless, you'll have to dye a new or used set, problem is if it matches you red interior for level of existing fade.

I wish I could. Not in the budget. I will do some quick upgrades, headers, DUI distributor and carb rebuild.

In response to your TAC post again, the sleeves are no longer available. They were through F-Body Store and closer to $110/pr when I got a set years ago, F-Body Warehouse were one supplier who also recoloured them. You may want to contact Pete and check. They were poor quality, and the recoloured versions were not even cleaned up prior to paint. They were for the large chunky plastic block style receivers. If you have the chrome deluxe buckles, keep looking.

There's a pic of the red belt style in my ebay ad, check it.

Clean up behind the rear bumper brackets, usually trapped moisture and rust.
