You'll see the in pictures, I have a brand new, freshly painted Stalker Front Bumper (PN 3334) that I have yet to install, I also purchased and painted the door molding (the pieces between the front tires and the door (both left and right) are on back order). I have also purchased a very clean used factory Ford RF headlight (the current headlight is letting a small amount of moisture in)
Misc items replaced in the finishing stages: Replaced missing screws and covers on the arm rests, ash tray receptacle, replaced left rear power window motor and OEM Drivers and passenger power window control switches, Right Side Convertible top Latch.
I installed a brand new MOPAR Beep-Beep Roadrunner Horn. It really fits with the car..(it is a OEM re-production horn)

Bullitt 17x9 Black Wheels with Mickey Thompson Street Comp 245/45/17's tires front, Mickey Thompson Street Comp 245/40/17's tires rear. These tires fit extremely well.
The convertible top was replaced when my uncle was restoring the car and has only been put down twice. The interior has also been re-upholstered and looks fantastic.
The car is immaculate, handles well and is fun to drive. I have already done the first oil change. My Uncle had this car for 16-17 years, it has been garage kept and has never been in the snow in Colorado. I spent all of last winter building and finishing the car.
Anyone who has built a car of this magnitude would understand the amount of time and labor that have been invested in it. I will install the new nose piece with the replacement headlight upon sale of the car. I have over $16,000 in this build (not counting any labor).
