I think that the burnt orange body with the stripes from that black one would be cool. Paint the stripes black with a medium gray metallic pinstripe around it. That would be perfect!

Agreed -- Monte's definitely need their lower trim, so I was going to 'shop that back in (along with the wheels), unless driveit wants to take a run at it. Smile

Side markers are actually required in all states 'cuz it's a fed standard. If I put the trim and the wheels back on it it should be close enough for jazz. I did find it interesting that he deleted all the badges and the quarter window trim and went hardtop like I did. However, I have the chrome rear window trim but no wheel well mouldings.

I can do it, I just don't know when. I am taking the day off tomorrow to catch up on design and do some maintenance on mine and my wife's vehicles. Send me an email and list what you are wanting. attach any pics you have as well if you don't mind.

Let me see what I can get together and I'll send you a PM. I'm also thinking of calling that guy and see if I can get a front shot.
