-Replacing the reject suspension with the New Kirkham Suspension.
-One rear tire was mounted on a front wheel and one front tire on a rear wheel.

Old suspension components.
New Smith's gauges installed in the old vinyl dash, which i eventually ended up replacing with new leather from Kirkham.

Excellent repost, but in some ways fails to capture the effort you actually put in.
You also forgot the picture of your wife beating your a$$ down the driveway when the AMEX bill arrived.  |

I quietly watched the restoration, the end result truly is a work of art.

Thanks for the nice comments!
Yes, i have the paint codes from when the hood was repaired. A few people have asked for them, but I keep forgetting to write down the numbers off the cans when i am in the garage. Ill do my best to remember to post the paint codes tonight.

Paint Codes: This is what the paint store matched for repairing the hood and scoop. Cinema vehicles did not have the codes in their records anymore as their old computer crashed that contained all of the data on the cars.
White- Galaxy White, Code 110, General Motors 2004-2009, 741403K
Blue- Spectramaster Blue, BM174 and then the can also says BM174K

This was 6 years ago, but thank you. I hope the new owner is having fun in it. I let it go for way too cheap!
