Looks great. The interior looks a little out of place now, it'd be nice if you could find a black interior out of a 1500S, or maybe dye what you have.

yeah, im prolly gonna start on it soon... just gotta get it runnin right again. ever since i pulled the motor to have the body work done, it never has ran right so i think im gonna look into de-vac'ing it or finding another carb with much less vacuum lines. then i gotta put some new struts on it because it is way out of camber.

****in A looks good! I really love how it looks now better than the flat black, but I will say that might be the first car I've actually liked the flat black look on.

Looks really nice. My guess would be a vacume line issue. I accidently got 2 mixed up when I took apart my engine and it ran like crap. Luckily i still have the factory vacume line diagram on my hood and i got it all sorted out.

Looks good - one question though.... Where did you get front/rear window seals for that thing? Or did they reinstall your old seals?

Looks great!

yeah... about those window gaskets... i searched across the country and even tried majestic honda and overseas aswell... got stupid lucky and found the windshield gasket here in jacksonville locally. a windshield shop called me back and found one that fell behind the shelves... the bag it was in was covered in dust. the rear was another story. i ended up having a urethane bead or seal and an outer rubber seal put in. its not what i wanted but i had no choice.

I am replacing these rear seals on my 75. I ordered them thru hondapartsdeals. Good customer service too. The only problem was they could only get me one, the last one in the US. So they say. I would try them.
