Looks good. I think I may have to steal the two-tone airbox idea. Can't wait to see more.

Well I guess i am going to hijack this thread a bit (no better place than here) and post some more pictures of the 89 from its new home.
I have been working on cleaning it all up. cleaned the vinyl top and noticed that some of the red was bleading through the white, and also noticed that much of the paint below the body side modling was pretty beat from the lack of mud flaps over he years, i decided to go in another direction. the top had been refinished in Taupe finish, and rather than matching the white to repaint the rockers we matched the roof.
Enjoy....
Next the paint is going to be touched up where required, cut and polished to bring it back up to a nice shine.
