Good luck, all these clean cars make me want to paint my POS Nova here shortly to get up to spec. If I can't make it as fast, at least she'll be clean

NiceTry - Powell trying to shed some more weight?

Chris (slowZ28) - It's all about the buttons and gadgets.

Slow346 - BFH, exacto knife and a jig saw. Hammered the inners and trimmed the front and rear of the quarters.

Derek - I see hugger orange with some blue stripes on yours

Kyle - none on this computer, let me pull some up when I get home.
