It does look good. Is that the original paint?
And as Haystack said, paint the hood!

Looks similar to what my red bird used to look like before i painted the molding and put a TC header panel on it.

For $300 that's a hell of a car man....leave the hood flat black...nice throw back to the muscle car days.  Just make sure you seal it...my black primer is oxidized as hell now...even after countless hours of wet-sanding with 2000 grit sandpaper and rubbing/polishing compound.

Its kinda crazy, i dug up some pics of mine when it looked just like that, just had more chrome and less shine on the paint...and the black wasnt as black

Thanks guys for the comments,when i got the car it was NASTY!!, needed alot of cleaning, the wheels were black, the paint(original) looked pink,interior was filthy but in great shape, little green carpet cleaner took care of that.Everything works except the cruise. I have since then tore the engine down, needed new bearings and oil pump, k&n, removed silencer, true duels, no cats with 3 chamber flows,crossover, wires, plugs, injectors, bumped the timing, new tires, shift kit, jammin stereo with 750 watts of power (not a whole lot), 176,000 and still runnin strong(knock on wood), thanks haystack for postin pics !!  I don't know why I can't get pics up??

got any times with that truck?h.0's arent that bad on gas, if any worse from what I hear. Cany really promise you though. I figured if you wanted good miliage you would get an escort or tempo or something.
