I'd love to get a copy of that embroidery chip, or an embroidered patch if possible.

BR[]: I'll give the lady who did the embroidery work a call and ask her about a patch. Will let you know. Actually, what I gave her was a zerox copy of the insignia, and she sized it to what I wanted. I figured she'd just do a patch and we'd have to sew it in, but she embroidered it right onto a piece of the leather and my interior guy took it from there.

Thanks, guys, she ain't like the General made her, but the shape she was in when I drug 'er home three years ago, it's a wonder it even got back together....almost wasn't worth saving.

nice job on that interior. i looked around on here for the rest of your build. I didnt see it. Do you have other pics of the car/ Like front and side shots. It takes some balls to customize one of these and pull it off right. (IMO) Have you thought about running the stripes on the back all the way down to bottom of the bumper? Looks good WTG.

Thanks red71, I don't think I've posted many pics of the build. I did an off-frame rebuild; car was a mess, badly cannibalized and beat to s#@#! Every body mount bolt sheared, had to replace body mount holes in frame, rear mount tabs, and trunk floor mounts as were rusted thru, front brake drums were completely rusted thru, lower rear quarters and pieces which attach quarter panel to trunk floor, rear inner fender panels, trunk floor pan, tranny hump, firewall sections, sections of interior floor pan all had to be replaced with formed sheetmetal either due to rust or butchery, right rear quarter was smashed, all the glass was bad, no interior at all. The car now has a '70 442 front suspension with '72 Monte Carlo discs, fore and aft sway bars, new brakes, shocks, brake lines and fuel lines, rebuilt '76 455 from a GMC motorhome (Toronado motor) w/ HEI and 4418 Holley, 4-speed, all the chrome and medallions removed, fiberglass bumpers, customized grille, hidden park lights, smoothed firewall, custom dash panel, custom interior, flush mount taillights, EZWire harness, Dolphin gauges. Posting pics of what it looked like before I started on it, and a couple of the car now. Tires/wheels on the car are only for checking tire clearance (will have polished five-spokes), still have to finish polishing pain, install California-type mirrors, install rain gutter moulding, and put a charcoal pinstripe down both sides. I parted out another 442 hardtop and a Cutlass F85 hardtop gathering enough parts to put it back together.
