Going to use the standard 78-79 USA bumpers. I think the rear skirt will be getting a little more cosmetic work.

What really makes it nice is that I have an NOS bumper for the rear. And once the body work is finished on the rear skirt, it should look fine. :D

Bought these roof speakers from a forum member. After a fresh spray of vinyl dye, I can't wait to get them installed and hear some sweet 1stgen stereo. 8)

I'm still searching for a good quality affordable carpet replacement. This one is ready for the dumpster

Looking good Bob. Gives me flash backs of when had it redone not too long ago. Same color too. Putting it back together isn't that bad.

What are your plans for the bumper? Are you going to rechrome and repaint the black in the center?

Scott, I have a NOS bumper for the rear. Not sure if it's aftermarket or not. Actually, I have several. I have a very good condition front bumper that will need to have the black repainted. I'd like to use it since it has the proper mounting holes for the front license plate.

Woah! Nice. Where did you find that? Currently I have a '75 bumper. Makes me want to get an extra set so I can switch back and forth. Can't wait to see you '78 finished.

There was this guy that bought out a distributor who had a supply of NOS older bumpers. My intention was to buy 2 from him. He had 5 and sort of talked me into buying all 5 from him. I figured that I could keep an extra one as back up and once my car is back together, sell or trade the others for misc parts I may need.
