Thanks for the advice.....I'll order the parts sometime this week. It would be hard to turn this back into a "original car", since the engine and tranny have already been replaced. It now has a 455 with a 4 speed auto and was painted a bright yellow. (Maybe when the paint fades, I'll have it painted back to it's original gold) The only thing left is some interior parts. Things like the plastic around the t-top needs to be replaced, etc, etc
Again....thanks
