From what I can tell this seat style was offered in 1972

I decided to go ahead and have my car color sanded and buffed. I was not going to do this at first because the car came out so good from the paint shop. So I installed the decals and emblems etc. But after looking at the car for a couple months I choose to have it done. The car had some light orange peel and a little dust. The shop said they could buff around the stripe and when its done you never know it was color sanded after the everything was installed.

So how interested are they in cutting me a huge deal on my bodywork and paint?

Billzilla, I can get you a decent deal on your paint and body. Let me know when you have spare funds and I will get you set up.

Smellslike1974, She is not amused, this is the second full color sand and buff I have had her do in one month. Its a crap load of work!! I know I am a slave driver, but hey its what they choose to do for a living.

I picked up the car today and the paint looks awesome!! I did not get any pictures of it, but I will try to get some this weekend. The paint job went from being a 8 1/2 out of ten to a 9.95 out 10!!

Very cool, De. I'd never seen Sublime in person before your car - I was blown away by the yellow flake in the green! Pictures don't do it justice.

I'll hafta check it out next time I'm in the neighborhood. Maybe your friend, my friend can team up with us and we can all take our vintage cars out to a burger stand and act like we're a club or something

Of course, it'll be Ford = 1, Chevy = 1, Mopar = 2! We'll have the ADVANTAGE. Hahaha.

Billzilla, just let me know when!!

Smellslike1974, Where do you live? Im sure you could make it 3 or 4 states on jack stands, but I dont know if you could make it across the country. For serious!!

Im in new Jersey.
When i bought the stands,tha box said they were good for 3,000 miles,so i should be good.

I just shipped my Camaro off to New Jersey this week. Just to be safe through an extra box of jack stands and some duck tape in the trunk. Just dont forget the Yosemite Sam air freshener and the bunny suit.

Interestingly enough,ive been invited to go to Pinks :All Out in Norwalk Ohio this june...and i was told to bring my bunny suite!..Im not sure if i want to go though,i cant stand Rich on a tv,it would be bad news with an un amused bunny in the stands..

That show is kinda annoying to watch, but a pissed off bunny would help!!
