Looks great, Chris. Love the louvers! And your wheels look immaculate - wow. Is the car truly white or an off-white? Looks a little "cream" in this pic (on my monitor).

The car is an off white. It's actually called Light Beige VG.

I picked up a fog light wiring kit over the weekend so I can get those installed soon.

I'm planning on starting on the steering and brakes on Friday.

This is going to be my big install weekend. Bearings, Brakes, Steering, and OMP Rebuild.

If anyone is bored, you can stop by. I'm starting this at noon on Friday and going through the weekend.
