Very nice, looks great! 8)
The ano work looks very nice as well.
The black on gold color scheme is just outstanding!
"ARC Anodizing in Texas"- I'll definitely keep them mind.

Beautiful! Very Slick.

Your drilling, back in the day, was, thankfully, very tidy.

I was just 12 years old when I drilled the chassis.. I remember seeing it done in all of the magazines and thinking it looked so cool!

Lots of memories tied up in this buggy. I've got a similar story with some of mine, too. Great job on the restoration!
