        Thanks! The centercaps were hard to come by, but I think Hartge is selling them again!

        Thank you! I decided against sideskirts because of what they do to the rocker panels (e.g., remove them via rust). Paint the bumper trim body color? Or black? I agree either way they'd look better if they were smooth.

          Personally think black would be the best. I just don't like the ruff bed liner look they have.

              I agree. I've heard that maybe some sanding and plastidip is a good way to refinish them?

              Thanks! When is the show? I've never been to one, mostly because I've never had something worth taking :p

                          Lose 2 doors and get rid if the diving boards and it'll be perfect!
                          Jokes aside, great job saving it, just align the passenger side of the hood for OCD purposes!

                            Haha, thanks. And I'm surprised I didn't notice that! I'll have to see if it has to do with the A/C high pressure hose...
