WOW, I am feeling the love. Thank you all for your comments and support. It needs a little TLC but she does look good. I'm definitely going to drive it and do some light moding.

Dig the yellow. Hope you enjoy your new ride. Ours does it all - drags, mods, shows, weekend cruises through wine country and even to the dusty drive-in movies. Make it an adventure! Love it!
