Bought this car from Jack:
http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=317092
Jack kept the wheels, so I put some steelies on it to get it home.
The next day, I put a flathood and single rounds on it. The grill and bezels are hideous, I still need to clean them up and fix all the broken tabs. I also didn't have long bolts for the headlight spacers with me, so it's rocking the sunken, dead eye look for now. But it's a start.
It's not a perfect match at all, but the paint will work until I get an original paint white flathood. I love that Appliance paint. Half of our old white 66 bug was painted with it. It goes on super thick and stays shiny for a very long time. Hard to beat at $5/can also.
Once I got home, I bolted on some redrilled Style5 RC090 wheels with 235/45/17s all the way around.
At this point, I've only had the car 3 days, so I haven't had a chance to clean it up too much. Looking forward to cleaning this car up quite a bit over the next few months, repairing some dents, adding a good stereo, and customizing the interior a bit. The goal is to build a cool looking, comfortable, reliable, fuel efficient (yeah right) commuter car to drive to work every day.
