You got me... i didnt do the full restoro... weve replaced the floors, trunk, part of the frame, top of the motor, and interior. But the body was done before i got it, the guy had a 68 parts car and i can only guess that the fenders and grill were better than what was on it.
The simple fact is i dont have the money to fix it. I bought a grille but i like the 68s so much more, and to repaint now would risk mismatching the colors.
No worries though, in 3 more years when im out of college it will have a complete restoration, then you will see what a jewel it really is!
