Some may say this is the best place for Marty, but hey some one had to do it.

Nice work, Marty. Have a friend who was having hood issues with a 70 SS Chevelle he purchased. He couldn't get the rear of the hood to lay down inline with the fenders. It was the cowl seal that was too stiff keeping the hood from laying flat. Changed it out to a Metro Molded or Soffseal piece, can't remember which, and it looks great now. I never would have thought the seal would be that strong. Personally, I only use Metro Molded or Soffseal. They seem to fit and feel the best. Good luck!

Continuing to the rear of the car I have always felt that the tail panel needed to be black. So a quick call to Larry the Paint & Body guy and we both agreed it needed to be black.

So the minute his schedule opened up I would drive the car over.

Nice change to black with the tail panel, Marty.

Where the bike rack bungs meet the body paint chipped a little bit. Nice easy solution was to paint the bungs black. I am also thinking about putting a circular warning sticker around the bungs before I put the bike tray back on.

Ps looking for ideas for the warning sticker

I almost forgot (just like Kenny) Larry installed the passenger side mirror on the car for me.





Ps For anyone that doesn't know Kenny he hates mirrors and headrests. So the fact that my car had two headrests and a drivers side mirror when it came home was pretty shocking. What is a little more shocking is the fact that he painted both mirrors and actually sent them home with the car.

Want a set of Dakota digital tail lights for it?

I am going to be ordering some more stuff from them as the windows struggle when I roll them up.

Getting a little closer.



Need to get that bumper on the floor back on the car and over to the left a little bit.



Thus the reason Mike is doing this.



Fits a little better not perfect but good enough for a driver.



Picked up this little trinket at Good-Guys Pleasonton, Ca
