The distributor came with the car but was apart with the cap hold down clips, missing.

The new rear fender extensions were delivered, primed and installed. Taillight housings were rusted at the bottom and the gaskets in bad shape. After bead blasting the housing, they were painted, new gaskets ordered, all the chrome polished then the back of the...
