This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Daves69 Too many cars too work on

    Ethan,

    Are you going to be using the one piece floor with rockers? Recently saw one in a 71 Zone car. It is a nice piece saved the owner a lot of money installing the floors.

    I have red bucket seats in my 69 GS too. Never seen another red over red.
    Are you going with a white top?

    Looking forward to follow this project.
