    Justen,

    Just found this thread and realized you're from WI. How's the restoration coming ?

    Just about wrapped up. Hoping to show this summer. My body guy mentioned a guy that knew gran sports stopped to see the car. Was that you by chance?

    I am looking for a kit of stickers, tags, etc. to finish up my restoration. I thought Duane had these, but I'm unable to get a hold of him. Any ideas of who I can work with on this?

    That was a customer of mine that stopped in to see your car. I was going to go also but the timing didn't work out.

    Duane is tough to get a hold of. We've been trying for a couple weeks now. Not sure if anyone else has those sticker kits but we need one as well.

    Let me know if you guys need any fasteners. I stock factory correct- US made fasteners for Skylarks, GS & GSX models.

    Good luck with your project!

    Think of the Boar's Nest from the Dukes of Hazzard and add a brass pole

    My car scored a gold at the 2017 nationals (it's first show). Thanks to everyone who helped out with the build from selling me parts to answering questions! show results.PNG

    Fittings on the brake hoses should be brass.

    Sometimes in a restoration, you have to make necessary concessions.

    Clip1.jpg I'm refurbishing my fuel/brake line clips on my 70 Stage 1. I've cleaned everything up and painted the brackets down the frame rail black for now. I see here it says they are yellow. Is that still correct? Mine almost looked like they had a tinge of gold color left over. Also, the three brake line clips under the engine on the cross member cleaned up real nice. They have an anchor and 3/16 stamped on it making me think they are stainless steel and suppose to be a bare metal color. Do you happen to have any pictures? Thanks again for all your help!
