Nice bit of work! I'm noticing a trend on this bolt plating on Sports! Glad you've gone for the original finish it all adds to the detail! I've got most of the bolts getting done for C75BEC at the moment, couple are going to get done in Nickel black aswell for the shocks etc.

hope so chum, just hope the stripes fit ok, did you a issue with the drivers door stripe being to short..??

Not sure how that could have happened as I checked both sets of my decals and they were both the same length, must have been a miscut. Its not like the Nova is like an AMC Pacer with different length doors! lol
