Thanks for the input guys. I just bought the pair of parts needed in Red from OPGI so no need to paint. Sorry for the confusion as I sold the Buick awhile back locally and got the Chevelle when I could not find a 70 455 GS to my liking, but still looking. Since this site had some great guys with great advice I kept running with it in addition to being a member of the Chevelle forum. Thought best to keep the avatar as is.
