Has anyone checked with Andy to see if they make Blizzaks in that size? (It's a niche market!)

Very cool ride, BP. Hope it works out. S/B a LOT of fun.

Dave and Andy: Many thanks for the phone consults yesterday as I was losing my mind somewhat. The stereo install is going rather well.....maybe even somewhat better than expected. The harness for the new stereo has been installed and is pretty much ready to go. The head unit from RetroSound is basic...

I always find these comparisons interesting, not that I can afford either at the moment:

Let's see....I got my first Malibu in March of 1990. Dave got his '70 in June or July of that year. (Also in 1990, I had a full head of hair, none on my back, and wore 32x32 Levis (as opposed to ToughSkins.) I reluctantly sold my first '69 in January of 1994....the curse of being a poor college stud...

If you look carefully enough in the windshield reflection, a soldier or Marine took that pix.

No mention of 13 second time slips. Maybe they're in the glove compartment?

What can I say.....I like it! An absolute time capsule that you don't see every day.

I'd blame the
driver!

Feel bad for the guy. It almost appears that his traction control "acted up" on him.

Don't know the guy or the car or how much he drinks, if at all.....but this is a story that probably won't have a happy ending.

Upon seeing the pix, the job is a little more involved than it sounds....but well done.

Can Bair's restore the Corvette hubcaps?

Two plus years between posts? Shocking....but in a good b/c you've just been driving it! That is, after all, the real goal in all of this.

Very much appreciate the replies....but I was never really contemplating changing mine over to that. I'm all Lime Metallic/Black Vinyl Top....all the time. I just came across it "by accident" and thought it really looked cool.....and I thought I'd share it with the group. I'm under the ass...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Chevelle-SS-/201010883525#ht_1100wt_880 While RED has been done ad nauseum on '69 Chevelles and Camaros, I think this looks really sharp. Apparently, it's a 2010 Dodge Charger Color: Mango Tango. It's more of an Orange Metallic.....I think. It jumps out at you contr...

Don't laugh, but this week I'm driving my grandparents' 2009 Impala around as I take the car to E-Check for them/get their new tags, etc.

Anyone encounter the "Airbag" warning message at one time or another?

Very cool indeed! Don't laugh, but I've got a Crosley unit from the 30s that belonged to my maternal grandparents over at Lynn Drive. I'll have to show it to you sometime. (They're both still alive (89&88) but wanted their basement cleared out a few years ago in case they needed to "evacuat...

Looks good already!

Yanking everything out of your engine bay, cleaning it, and then painting it can be a real PITA......BUT the end result is almost always well worth it.

If you really want a very nice looking Classic, you've got to go through this process at some point, though.
