A few more pics, using 'Windows Paint' program, to try a few ideas on the Rebel:

Any recent progress to report?

Buzzman72...void where prohibited, your mileage may vary, objects in mirror may be closer than they appear, and alcohol may intensify any side effects.

Carry the wide stripe from the hood vents over the roof and deck? In satin with a gloss silver in center, exactly as the hood lines are? Drool...

Yes, this Rebel is 'blank canvas', in it's current condition.

(picking up where I left off -from the last picture)

My 91 yr. old Dad died about one month later, on Dec. 23.

Then Covid hit, in the next several months.

This left me caretaking for my 90 yr old Mom who was afflicted with heart disease and kidney failure.

Now she died, Covid related, on about Dec 5th. (too weak to withstand mild Covid)

This Rebel is beautiful in many ways. I like the last pic. design of hood best.
The Stock wheel openings are better, Cut only if steering problems.
Did you ever make a drawing to explain the toe-in caliper? Looks interesting.

Sorry to hear about your parents.

Gut reaction:

Aw man! that is so nice of you-all to say that!

That's it: the car remains just as it was before Dad died.

Only a few minor tweaks since then and now (repaired starter, brake adjustments)
