New spoiler

This is the green car which will be going to the painter's in a few weeks.
I bought it from Craigslist in May. It was cheap and relatively unblemished, but was lacking in the paint department.


Ideally, I would like it to look the stock color, which is a dark green metallic, like this Camaro I saw at a show in San Diego last year.
 
A friend from the car club, Lon, was able to find a complete GTA style spoiler at a junkyard this weekend.
I don't know how he did it! These 25 year old parts are nearly impossible to find.

(They make an aftermarket spoiler at Classic Industries, but it's expensive and I heard it has fit issues.)
 
Don put it on the car on Monday so it wouldn't be cluttering up his shop.

We will have to take it off again when I take the car to get painted.
This is the 2nd car I've had entirely painted.

There will be some other dismantling to do.
It's better to take these pieces off so that the paint place paints both sides, otherwise they will just do the top side. Or, charge extra for taking the pieces apart.
