Looks awesome! We all love a good restoration, but a build with some modern touches is refreshing to see. If it's not a high dollar, numbers matching car then build it the way you want it. Great job! :thumbsup:

Heminut.,, you are right that’s what I thought and since I had to replace almost everything in the car why not give it a few modern conveniences. With this front end suspension like it is it drives almost as good if not better than my late model car. I’ve got to find somebody that has put in the new relic power windows. I will be starting from scratch on the quarter window first I guess and see how that goes. Anybody with them any information please chime in

I just bought the nu relic window kit. I have not had them installed yet. I went with the use your crank option. I didn't like the switches that were offered and the OEM switches they sell don't have the correct connections that go to the back of the switches. I did order a master switch that will be hidden to control the passenger side window. The kit is only for the front windows.

Hey folks, put the custom floor console in today, had to raise the shifter 3 inches off the floor to get the right look and feel. Will tackle the Nu-relic windows next week then finally finished. HAs been about 26 months start to finish

Lookin Good!!
Cup holders! Those are awesome!

Yes, that does look great. Love the cup holders also. That's something you forget that didn't come in older vehicles that you can't live without now.

Nice Job! looking good!

One more step. added a rear spoiler and put the back up camera in it! I think it looks good but the question is, keep it black or color match the body?

Definitely black, looks good.
What is the camera tied to? I've thought about adding a camera, are there phone apps?

SFEbody · Jul 23, 2023

Hey, @Katfish It is tied to the touchscreen, SIRIUS, GPS and backup-cam i installed in the floor console.

Cuda Hunter · Jul 23, 2023

I think the black spoiler match's well with the black bumper and the black tires. Looks great!!

SFEbody · Jul 23, 2023

Thanks @Cuda Hunter Black it remains. Thanks gents!

Hello fellow E Body members, today was a pivotable day. I took her out, filled her up with gas for the first time and drove it for a couple hours getting ready for the fall fling next weekend. Here she is, and all her glory. Did anyone notice the dutchmans panel? I welded he seams and metal worked them smooth. I really like how that feature turned out. Oh and he back up camera in the rear spoiler is amazing when backing up.
