I agree completely, some of them knew they were special, to some it was just another car.

Very true, my experience has been the owners after the states really doing the damage though not the LEO's.

My original Sequence number from the Dearborn plant installed back behind the front bumper, yes I even painted the bumper speed nut brackets:

Putting the new channel run weather stripping in:

Antennas are fitted in their original holes. Fuel door with new bumpers, front bumper and rear bumper cover, almost NOS rear tail lights and NOS Quarter glass are in. Drip rails, door handles rear deck and rear deck emblems are all on, whew!

Looking really good Aaron! Can not wait to see it in person.

One word - STUNNING! :2thumbs:

Beautiful job!

Looking very nice! Love the color!

Looking even better! I want more pics! :D

May I ask where you got the new window channels from?
Need to find a pair for my SSP.

They are from 50Resto, I could not find any NOS so I used these, I used them in the past on my AL DPS resto and I was happy with them.

True story. Look how many were turned into drag cars and literally run into the ground by John Q. Public. I was thrilled to find mine quite literally untouched and original besides the usual replacement stuff like tires, hoses, etc. I was so happy to find the factory airbox still intact and not a cheesy chrome "CAI" from ebay. :) Besides the crappy re-paint on my car (good base/clear paint job honestly, crappy in the fact that they jambed over the stickers) its a good car; I'm hoping not to find major body work underneath that paint though. :/
