Just thought i would throw a few pictures of my completed “for now” project. I, i mean my wife, bought it at auction for $1800 and it has been sitting around for years as other projects took the lead. I attacked it earlier this year and just finished the last piece…again…for now…

New Batteries (6) - US31DCXC ($1500)
Stripped, sanded, rattle canned color and clear several coats each to hood/mud flaps (Mostly time spent and $30ish)

New (nonconnected) front hood plug outlet to fill hole;PO installed wrong year hood ($20)

Some might say it wasn’t worth it, but considering how happy my wife is with it and the fun dates we have around town, its priceless…
