    What a beauty. Good thing it's the wife car though. I don't think I could drive a pink car, LOL.

    Oops, should have read the other posts. Er, nice car and color combo for you. Disregard the previous comment. Ha, ha...........

    If it was ready, you could go on the New Years Day cruise to the Busy Bee in Ventura. If I don't see you, you and your wife have a Happy New Years.

    It is drivable but needs some steering work. I am hoping to have the box sorted out before new years eve.

    Paul / Lupe,

    Great looking car. Can't wait to see it in person!

    For the pipes, check out some of the write ups on Porter mufflers.

    I'll give you a shout soon and swing by to take a look.

    Oh, wow. That brought back memories. My aunt had one that exact same color when I was young. Seeing the pictures brought it all back to me.

    Sweet Car! Make it like you want it.

    Thanks Guys. It needs a little TLC to be really driveable. I got the front end rebuild kit from Kanter and have springs on the way from Jamco. Will start the tear down pretty soon. ONce I get the front end and steering sorted out it will be driven a lot. I am hoping I can take it to the Ventura Nats.

    Paul, great looking car! Glad to hear you finally found one. Way yes to all the above changes. I would try porters instead of gl***packs, but that's just me. Wide whites would look awesome on there too. Wider the better. I'm not sure what hubcaps would look best, but those stock caps with the bullet centers look pretty good. - dd
