Very nice!

Thanks. Desert car so a lot easier to save than most of your projects. I must obtain a welder and learn how to use it.

Thanks, Doc. It runs even smoother than it looks.

Looks great! I have a set of those louvers too, and I can't wait to refinish them and install them.

They definitely give your car a late 70s vibe. Mine were in pretty good shape so I just cleaned them with some Mother's paint cleaner. I may disassemble them, straighten them, and then repaint them some day. The louvers have a slight bend to them. Or I may keep them as is.
