I just got them through legendary. they have all sorts of colors to chose from. I figured Id get some rubber mats instead of the carpeted logo mats as it seems they are a son of a gun to keep clean

Nice project! I've always liked white on a 71 runner.
Don't listen to Eric, he NEVER admits this in front of me!
White looks great on these cars--I love mine! Nice project and what you've done looks fantastic.

starting to put together the underside to where the factory would have undercoated the car (fuel system, shocks, brake lines ect) Im borrowing a technique from Mike Ross at BE+A. 2 coats of 3M body schutz with a coat of transtar over that. hopefully it will match the original stuff pretty good.

also forgot to mention! I've been dealing with Jeff Patterson (rapid340) on building me a FAST legal 340/ 426 that could push me into the 11's! should be pretty exciting needless to say! figured it'd be a better idea to have somebody with as much experiance as he does build it rather than me haha

I would keep it pump gas by all means, is all I mean .. Unless you want to have a car like mine that you cant drive to a cruise night .. I think that you will see that a lot of the FAST cars may be starting to be more competitive with hovering around 12-11:50 , and then the guys with multiple cars can do what they want .. I blew up my driver car at the end of summer and now Im bummin. Im looking at a 4200 # boat anchor that I insure and shouldnt really drive more than 5 miles AND spend time looking for race fuel . BE creative and lighten the car to go faster ..  But its still nice to drive a sweet showcar around - and tell everyone it runs 11.90 .. Youll have fun either way , good luck keep us posted
