Looking good!
Are there any plans to add back the rear fender skirts?
I had plans to, and actually have the skirts stripped and prepped for primer. But I found out while trying to fit them that the previous owner had done some body work to the area.
Evidently the arches had rust issues and the PO had welded in new metal and done some work with Bondo. It looks presentable as is, but he did not pay attention to the radius of the curves. One is bad enough that the fender skirt does not fit. Plus most of the mounting holes were either lost or covered over when the body work was done.
So I'm forced to run sans skirts for now. But I keep considering redoing all the paint to the correct factory color.....which would mean stripping everything and fixing all the bodywork issues. I'm just not sure I want to open that can of worms just yet.
