Thanks, RainMan. And may I say thanks to all you "seaoned" car enthusiast that are willing to invest time in teach us youngin's what's what. We got a lot to learn (seriously, everybody else at school drives a Honda with a fart can muffler, a huge wing, and NO torque).

Too funny ... yeah, the cars aren't the latest technology but they still get some attention.  Head nod, thumbs up is a pretty common theme ...

It's not always the smartest girl that gets the attention- it's the prettiest   Same with our cars.

younger? how old are you?

either way, nice project you have looks like a great find for the coin.

I'm 22. I was always into old cars (not always muscle car, but old ones) while all my buddies bought imports, I saved up my coin to buy a real American muscle car. Funny story:

my friend CHris at UTI owns two Hondas; a Civic and a Prelude. One day I told him he should drive my car around the block at school (we had just got done working on the brakes). At the first corner he gunned and said "Whoa!" We weren't going that fast so I asked him what was up. He was absolutely shocked by the instant torque. Then he gunned at every corner. I Think I may have gotten him hooked on muscle cars now!

[jphillips3333]

Cool ... I love the sound and the fact that it's NOT a Honda ... too many running around.

Thanks. It's the only one at school, or probably in town at this point.

Nice to see younger folks appreciating quality American made muscle.....
And understanding now why we're all such dedicated diehard TA fanatics.

Hey guys, I got some work down this week on the grill inserts. Someone had done a poor job of painting them so I decided to take a crack with some Duplicolor semi-gloss black. Not factory per se, but an improvement over what it was. What do you guys think?








I wonder when people realized that covering something with eighteen gallons of paint DOES NOT make up for poor prep work.....oh well.

Thanks for looking!
