Wheels/tires look GREAT....that's always the "icing" on the cake...and GOOD icing is ALWAYS better.

Quote: The front park lamp assemblies were loose, so we removed the center spoiler section to access them and remedy the problem. That went fine, both assemblies were missing the lower mounting nuts and the top nuts were loose:Quote.

FWIW.....Every unmolested Van Nuys built 78 I've ever touched/molested had loose front signal lights with missing lower nuts....

Hope GM recognized the employees cost saving work habits.......or perhaps there is 100,000 nos fasteners sitting in somebodys garage/basement.

GR8 point! I thought the same when reading the OP, that has been my experience also...all of them are "loose as a goose" that I've owned or worked on.
Never seems to be an issue when going down the road or affecting the parking light bulb life or operation either. And - I don't know why...

Well the exhaust system is done. The correct headpipes arrived and MPD and Joey the Welder rolled in today and finished it off. It looks great, but I can't wait to get the gas tank in see how it sounds and what change it has made in terms of throttle response. Here's a few pictures starting with one of Joey taking full advantage of one of the period signs I have gathered.
