traded for a 91 WS6 TA

Hi all,

I traded my 88 GMC stepside for this bird. Runs strong (for the 305) only 130K, leaky tops and it

faded paint, need a new headlight bracket






Here is what I traded straight up


It needs a paintjob. Any feedback on TCP Global Restoration Shop products is appreciated. Thinking about Daytona Blue Pearl Gallon URETHANE BASECOAT CLEARCOAT Car Paint FAST Kit. This will be a DIY job.

here are the pics of my new bird.

Thanks. Those tailights do seem tough to find without selling my next born. I am going to try to clean them up the best I can.

Re: traded for a 91 WS6 TA

TCP has a good reputation, but I haven't used their paint. Bought lots of other body shop stuff from them.
Looks like a great car. I would pull the nose cone off and see what under there. Both headlights are out of whack and bumper cover isn't sitting right. Might have a messed up support bar or front clip. Be willing to bet hood is not original. Might have had some front end damage.
