Dave,

Orange dime w /VTO wheels. I think I found your weakness!

Now all I need is a new hood latch and f/r bumpers. Know anyone who could hook me up???

I can wait

For those of you who don't remember this is where i started.

i guess things got a little out of hand

The 69 grill looks good. I bought one for the Bronze car (as it's also a '69) and have thought about installing it complete with the emblem because so few people utilize them.
The split sunroof is something you don't see every day.
Is the missing high beams a look, or is this a functional mod?

Love people and use things,

Its actually a 70 Coupe grille. I just missed out on the 69 Coupe grille a few months back :(
The split sunroof is something you don't see every day.
When I bought the car it came with a non-split and leaky sunroof. I had seen one of these on another Dime in the early 90s and loved it. Turns out a friend had a NOS one from that time sitting in his garage. I didnt think I would like the sunroof in general, but Ive come to really enjoy it.

Both. The drivers-side was setup to feed directly into an R1 carb setup and I was going to run either an oil cooler or trans cooler behind the passenger side one... but havent gotten around to it yet. Ive since switch carb setups so at the moment its mostly just aesthetic. Maybe by Spring Ill have another setup that will let me actually utilize that much fresh air in the bay.

Heres an interior shot...
