we got it from the bronx about 2 years ago. we just re-did it this winter. i wanted to do it body off but everyone decided against it. welded 2 new quarters in, and the area behind the front tires is also new. the bumpers are still getting painted and the car is at the glass shop now. the color is extremely bright.

Good job, I remember when I saw it it was full of holes. Did you find bumpers for it?

We have a young "upstart" chrome shop in Utah that's fix ANYTHING. They're really good...and hungry for work and a reputation so they're cheap (for now)

Look at the bumper on my buddy's Torino. This thing was crap!
