Project Bob78CVCC

[bob78cvcc]

I think those mirrors are a factory option the 78-79 cvcc only, the 77 cvcc( the onle I have) has the factory optional ones but they are a bit different from yours, so im guessing either the factory optional mirrors changed on 78 or they are aftermarket.

ps. The car is looking amazing.Are you rebuilding the engine also?

The engine is still a good runner ... Perhaps, down the road a bit.

Spent a few hours today at the bodyshop. While the rear skirt was getting some much needed love, I was busy fitting a replacement carpet. The rear section is nearly done. The front will have to wait a little longer. Thanks to Frank for the sewing tips for attaching the seatbelt cover to the carpet.

Please pardon the dust ... rear skirt and bumper back together

Beginning work on refinishing the woodgrain dash, installing the deluxe gauges and swapping in a nicer looking speedo face.

Here's how the dash looked - worn gauges, cracked woodgrain

Looking almost the same as my wheels, reckon yours are a bit wider. Nice! Are you going for the original look (silver with black on the sides)?

[bob78cvcc]

Going to go with the factory original look - black sides and silver face.

Just a few quick pics of the wet sanding ... getting much closer
