That's cool, I don't know that I've seen that before. I like to pull from the factory parts bin to make stuff that didn't exist, but maybe should have. I suspect the Honeycombs were never offered because the Ventura was an economy car, but they look good. We've been talking about either putting the green '74 GTO stripes on it or reinstalling the side moldings. I'm for the former, Cole is for the latter.

We got the back bumper on and have completed our to do list for the drive to Arizona. The color match on the filler looks worse in the pic than it does in real life. The carb needs a little more love and it needs a wheel alignment the big work is done. Presuming we can get some seats to sit on, I think we're about as ready as we're going to be.

While we're waiting on seats and mucking with bumpers, his buddies are in full on thrash mode trying to get engines in their cars for trip down.
