I don't have them handy but there were articles in the Hot Rod magazines pretty early and I think they might have had a body kit? I'll look when I get a chance.I suppose there is a chance the owner of this car might have had some inside connections to suppliers seeing how it was in CA where mods seem to happen early.

I had seen this thread and forgot all about it!yepx2I also see the same knock out off to the right of the clock when a dash is gutted. Are you the one who replaced a dash that split in the middle? thats when i noticed it also. Quote Selected
