Default Heading to the paint shop today

The BB is heading to the shop for the big makeover, after spending the last two weeks in the shop making sure everything works down to the radio. I can finally get rid of the afghanistan theme! :D
This car has not been on the road for about 6 years and after pulling her from death's grip from the previous owners accident I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

After much color debate on this forum I decided to stick with the original classic white :crazy: BTW: If you notice in the pictures and on my sig that I have a new edelbrock carb and torker II intake they have been taken off and replaced with all the original stuff (including Dual Snorkle).because of clearance problems using the stock hood so I will be placing current pictures of that change shortly :cheers: :cheers:
