(what hasn't been done)

I didn't touch the exhaust but it doesn't have any rot or leaks just surface rust as it was probably raw steel to begin with.

All I did with the rear and transmission were to drain and refill. Neither seems to make noise or have any significant issues although one rear wheel seal does seem to have a leak. If I had gotten to drive it before the rebuild, nbsp;I would have known it and replaced it when I had the rear backing plates off. I think there is a slight pinion seal leak as well. (exactly the type of things you would expect on an untouched component.

Clutch seems fine and took an adjustment with alot more to go.

I adjusted the emergency brake as well and it works great with lots of band left.

Lots of rechrome and NOS parts installed including
Both front and rear bumper with guards and accessory grille guard
accessory mirrors,
Freshly polished stone shields
NOS front fender moldings and headlight rings
reproduction tail light housings and trunk ornament
NOS center dash grille assembly
NOS inner and outer door handles and window cranks
NOS hood badge
Nice replacement hood ornament with reproduction insert
New kick panels and glove box
New trim rings and replacement hubcaps
NOS tinted sunvisors
Rechromed complete trunk handle assembly
NOS Horn Ring with nice button. I just installed an NOS Horn relay and got the horn working properly off the horn ring.

Everything works on the car with the exception of the radio. All gauges, nbsp;all lights, lower, eater, orn, tc. Even lit the hood ornament. (that was an option back then)
