Hey Mike,
I assume that is the treasure you called me about? You totally left out that groovey custom graphics package, LOL! Even with a Liquifire motor, that sled has a lot of the other hard to find parts. Nice save.

Actually, it looks like some pretty cool custom painting. (ok, maybe not cool in this case!)Matt wrote:Is that....wallpaper? Goes with the carpet I guess.
You lay down some lace, and paint over the lace, remove the lace, custom!
Common practice in the 70's.
I know some custom guys that go to yard sales looking for old table clothes for the material.
or maybe it's a decal of some sort, but they look like they are laid on very nice. More like painted on.

Yup. It is painted on! On the VS site, I have a thread going about how a hood tells a story. I'm a little nervous about the story this one tells. Lol

Re: Another Dator unearthed.
ddub is right, that's a lace job. Common on 70 era cars.

Re: Another Dator unearthed.
Sled is running, sounds great with the pipes and appears to be solid. Great sled to just cruise around on. Hood? Well that's another topic.

Re: Another Dator unearthed.
Nice find Mike !, rumor has it your going to put it on ebay ? I think you should just sell it local, I am sure there are a lot of poor locals that would like a chance !

Yes it is going onto ebay. It's the only fair option.
