  5. Cool what a great opportunity to talk to the previous owners.
     
  6. gorgeous. i have a '79 also, just purchased and it's the shop having an engine overhaul. like you, i'm only fair at wrenching, but good at the detailing. i was wondering what you used to get the door jams, engine deck lid, etc, so nice and clean? and also, it looks like (in the first picture,) that your rims were quite rusty and dirty. and in the end pics they're a lovely white. did you sandblast them? wondering how you cleaned them prior to painting. again, beautiful job.
