[OVERULD]

Thanks guys. Bob, I've been back and forth on what to do first, and finally decided on the paint, and since we'll have the fenders off, I will work on the the engine bay. I really have enjoyed following your project on the black car, and it has been an inspiration. Not sure if I'll take this car that far, but I sure want it to drive, sound and feel like the car I had in college. I guess you caught my spin on your own My Pal Dave "MPD" with My Pal Robert "MPR"...I'll need to get a picture of MPR saluting the way MPD does!

Mike, thanks for the input. Yes, the breather does still have the "Keep your GM" decal on it and I meant to post a picture of that as well. I'll do that and also post a picture of the date code on the breather if I can find it. I'm pretty sure it is original. The date coding on the windshield isn't really that important if I'm planning to replace it, but was just curious.

Good point about getting the photo of the decal on the compressor and the date codes on the Rally II wheels. I'll give Jim a call to get those date codes. Wish he would sell me those wheels!

Oh yeah - I forgot to mention the Hood. Mine has the dreaded crown and MPR thinks there is some adjustment in the hinges that might help, but I've read so many posts about this and think we need to add some weight for a while. Any other ideas?

Another interesting thing is that the body side mouldings were not on the PHS, but they appear to be the original factory style metal strips, riveted in, with the rubber strip insert. I wonder if the dealer installed them? MPR and I were talking about how the vinyl stripes will look in relation to the mouldings. I was concerned that they may compete for the Eyes' attention with two horizontal lines in such close proximity. What do you guys think? Have you seen a body side moulding car with the stripes?

I'll try to get some more pictures posted tomorrow.
