Was able to install the four side scoops, rear bumper, flip-open gas cap, tail panel, tail lens and frame. Car is dusty and dirty in these pics.
Here I'm trying to capture the pearl "fire" both in the blue and white paint.
 
New tires & wheels and hood locks installed

nice, nice..
cannot recommend a 428cj-R swap -- the car was b.a.r.e.l.y able to handle itself with the entire factory drive-line changed out (ladder,stagger-shocks, on and on). When my brother used to uhmm.. hurry-with-friends.. he scared the shazbot outa' most since the car moved liked a bumble-bee and would present it's ass to their door as it slid a quarter lane over before the posi could lock up.. he wound up putting -monster- Ford-van radials on it as wide-ovals was 'spensive.. took him down to under an eighth-lane slide-over.
the winner, as far as -I- know for cowl-twisted-doors-barely-close-now convertibles of the era, lol. Hemi's had nuthin' on cj-R (tuned for proper jet-octane, o'course)
