Heres a few pictures of the work on my gtx.First is the front rubber bumper finally got it stripped of paint,straighted (it was bent in a vee about an inch and a half),the rubber coating was replaced and primered.[img][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/ ... AGE007.jpg[/img]

also got the rear window louvers fitted and mounted.(you know it takes a lot of guts to drill two holes in the top of your quarter panels!)

now i am working on the rear rubber bumper.Sometime during its life someone drilled two 5/8 inch holes for a trailer hitch.I'm trying to weld them up without setting the bumper on fire.

Well finally painted my louvers,turned out pretty good.I was amazed that they still made the same lacquer paint that i painted the car with 25 years ago,although the car has seemed to have lightened up slightly from the sun.

Also redid the interior this summer,decided to go with white buckets to contrast the blue.With some fabrication i installed a b&m pro ratchet shifter in the console.

Nice!
Really like the B&M shifter with pistol grip in the console.
My B&M Mega shifter needs a Mopar console and Pistol grip.

How did you mate the pistol grip to the Pro Ratchet?

Hi guys.
The overhead console came from a CUDA but fits a b body the same.The shifter handle came from a guy on ebay he casts them in metal with a threaded hole in the bottom to fit any shifter.I replaced the plastic grips with real ebony wood ones.
