It's a 12B build date, 455 Auto, Brewster on deluxe Saddle, A/C, AM FM 8 track, Honey Combs, chrome trim on the hood and doors, and some other stuff. I'll go through the PHS tomorrow.

No hood bird, but I'll probably add one.

Default Finally out of the paint shop

Well I just the car out of the paint shop a couple of weeks ago. It took about 8 months (that's good I am told), and I couldn't be happier with the result. They really took their time with it. The color is our own creation. I wanted a more vibrant color and I definitely got it. These photos are taken on a cloudy day so not as bright as it actually it, but it is just how I wanted it.
I also had the interior redone. I used the front seats out of a 2 door Honda and had the rear seats remoulded to suit the style of the fronts. The only thing original on the door trims are the curved panels on the top. The rest is completed new.
The wheels are US Rambler and I'm running 245 45 17 on the front and 295 35 18 on the rear.

Year-One Honeycombs are a nice touch. What size tires are you running?

That is a super nice looking car. I love the Brewster Green.

That wheel tire combo looks great. The 245/45/17 tire is 25.7 inches tall but it fills the well very nicely. Is the front lowered?

Tough color to photo. Always looks nearly black. Great look and great stance!

Is there metallic in the original brewster green? Is that an OE paint code?

Non metallic. One reason why it only lasted one season, from what I was told.
