We just got the bodywork & paint done 7/31/04.

It's 87-90 Chevy Tangier Orange. We were thinking of Chevy's Hugger Orange, But this looks alot more vibrant.

Comin' at ya!

Do you think the front tires could be any more narrow?

Got New Meats 5/05. The old ones I got used, and never had them balanced.
This makes a big difference.
I can Finally Cruise the Highway.
Though for short jaunts. 65 MPH = 3200 RPM.
