ThumperD. Yes I have pictures some where in my mess but they are old school paper back photos and from a distance maybe the Vinyl top could be made. I'll try and find them and post.
The bumpers were stripped of the Gold paint revealing the pitting chrome by that point. I was too embarrassed to drive the car with Gold bumpers like that especially here in NYC.
As to paint, P-body is correct. Yes, it can lead up to a lot of weight in some cases. That is why I send Christmas cards and cigars to my painter every year (LOL) because he is anal about any non needed paint or body work left underneath. Every thing gets stripped to its birthday skin. Another reason why he is metal working the A990 fenders so as to not add any unnecessary body filler. Kind of like the way the old metal smiths in England worked the aluminum body panels on the Shelby Cobra's.
