    You've done a fantastic job with your car, Jim. I hope to get out there and see it this May. I'm hoping we can get together up in New York as well this summer.

    Nice job Jim, I love the chrome trim in the rear qtrs, my 68 Coro is silver and would look good with these added maybe with red highlight. I’m in Australia though and have no idea what they are called. How did u come across yours?

      They are part of the 500 trim package. You can find them on eBay once in a while

    I have to ask about the Fitech and how well that is working for you. I plan on a Fitech system too and wondered how simple it was to use and how you like it. I have heard some things about it not being as simple as it is advertised but want real world experience. Did you run the total package with the auxiliary canister under the hood or go all the way back to your tank and change to an EFI pump internally? After a ground up on my 69coronet, I have the option of a total EFI with tank and pump change to eliminate the canister under the hood. Thinking I may do it all the way back to eliminate the clutter under the hood and make it cleaner. Pm me if you have the time Jim and again....you did a spectacular job! Mocajava
