Thumbs up Re: New guy...

Very nice classic. Time to make it into a split bumper, lowered G machine style with 17 or 18" Fiske FM5s or TT2s.


Welcome!

Re: New guy...

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm leaving the wheels on it. At least for a while anyways. I might pick up some 17's or 18's in the fall though. And I'm gonna do some suspension work on it too.

Re: New guy...

Oh and just to clarify, this is the car I was making reference to. Paul Edwards' car is the most beautiful 2nd gen in existence. And the crazy thing is he lives in the UK.

Do it. You know you want to.

Re: New guy...

Brought it home today. I should also mention that my dad bought a 71 Z at the same time. We did a father son thing. It was pretty sweet driving them home. It's not too often you see a couple second gen's driving around together in the middle of January.

A couple new pics:
