side 'vents' (chrome decals) are stock on 69s...well, yes I` ve done quite a bit...the paint job I had done (as it had two red colors front fenders, burn marks from carb fire on hood, rust etc) , but I bought it for $8000, now have about $25000 in it ,incl paint....
but it had a re built engine with 9,000 miles on it, brakes worked, so there was a good start...never did a total resto, just 'running resto, always could drive the car with exception of twice in paint shop...I did first the doors and back, rust removal paint for $1250, 3 weeks later came back and did hood ,front fenders etc...for another $1250...my buddy told me it would be less money to "repair" the car than to "re paint" a classic.....he was right
