REAL nice.
One comment...I noticed that the hood stands up just a hair on the driver's side front. I just finished battling the same problem on my '68. It was the new rubber bumpers. I was hoping they'd settle in but I had to shave all 4 down just a hair with a razor blade.
Beautiful car all the same and it sounds greats.

I noticed the same thing, but I figured it was an aftermarket hood that didn't fit well, since all the other lines seem to line up. Nice car regardless.

Very nice!

Looks alot nicer fit of the fenders than Debs 69. She once had perfectly aligned nose piece with good fender match(just rotted fenders). So we painted nose pieces and original valance separate from the fenders... then found out the replacement dynacorn fenders were off by a mile when we bolted it all back together. Moved things as much as tolerable but its still a sore spot. Now that my cancer is controlled its time to get back after the issue and fix it. Hope I can get it as nice as yours.

On the hood thing, mine looked exactly like that and I lived with it for a while. No hinge adjustment would work and I was pretty darned sure that it did not look like that before paint. When I pushed down on the hood I could hear that metal-against-rubber squeaking sound.
I finally took a razor and shaved the rubber and that solved the problem.
Again though, the car looks great..

Hey man, thanks for the info. I checked the rubber at the nose of rhetoric hood and had to shave the passenger side down. It closes much better with no notable gap.
