Default Since everyone else is posting pics.... (dialup beware)

I took off late yesterday to meet up with some local C-3 guys at a really casual monthly cruise-in. I got there late and missed a few of the regulars, but I did hang out and chat a bit to catch up with some of my buds. Chris69 was kind enough to take some shots of my car for me. Looking forward to a great spring/summer/fall cruising season after missing all of 2003 while the car was apart for a long tear down and rebuild.

Hey folks, thanks for the compliments. It was a beautiful afternoon for a cruise here in NC yesterday.

hudman, yeah, sorry I missed you. I got tied up all afternoon assembling a trampoline and safety net for my kids. What a beast that was! I'd rather do a complete brake job than wrestle with that thing.

Paul B, I really do like the PO2's as well. You just don't see many cars with them. Ideally I'd love to have a spare set of rims with redlines to run the PO2's on, and keep the white letter BFG TA's with rally caps and rings.

terryrudy, I don't have any recent shots of the interior. I have a new dash pad and windshield trim that I need to install soon. I'm waiting for a nice weekend so I can spray dye the stuff before installing it.
