I hate that! I saw your f$#%&^& wagon, nova and rat rod about 5 million times and we have probably met or at least walked past each other without knowing at all either.

Snow is melting, I feel a salvage yard run coming...

Not to sound stupid but is it pretty fast? How big is the turbo?

More important to me is that CLR treatment. Did you literally just use CLR (the stuff in the gray plastic jug) to treat the rust and then clear coat it? GENIUS !!!!

I'm stealing that idear.

BTW, interior looks really nice was everything available new or is there some custom work there? Really perfect car.
