YEah, I've been following your progress since you got the car, I
guess mostly lurking, but Ive been reading. How about some photos?

I was just giving you a hard time about Leisure Suit Larry, but
one tiny part of me was sort-of not joking: the amount of style
and variation and garish colors etc in 50s/60s/70s car -- even
when it's horrible -- is a damn refreshing site after all the
tweedy greys, blacks, "tan", new cars come with. Bland, tasteless,
styleless, one-size-fits-all (clearly the manufacturers are
happier with this), boring crap.

For the record, I would yank the leisure suit out, too :-)


Our burnt-orange 72 Hornet is getting black interior, too.
