Welcome to the forum!  It's sounds like you have a pretty awesome '71.  I have upgraded you to a new member, so you have full forum privileges.  Upload some pics of your car when you have a chance.

Welcome, and that looks great.

I was planning that look for my Ranchero originally, the black trim and color. I painted my left door that kind of midnight grey as a test.

I appreciate everyone's positive feedback, thank you. looking forward to any experience offered as I start my next two projects on it being electric under dash power steering and a procharger eventually. Projects I'm trying to finish is wiring electric exhaust dumps and building a seat bracket to get driver seat a couple inches further back.

Looks great. What is the finish on your bumpers? Powdercoated or painted or something else?
