Sounds really nice but I am not a fan of red unless it's a dark red
like maroon or something. I think I may do my interior partly green
to go with the outside... probably just the carpeting part.. Keep
the rest all black. Oh well maybe the seats too. Scott wants me to
take out the straight seat is has and put in buckets and I am in
total agreement
with that! Damn, I need more money!!! I can't wait
to really start digging into this! I have been buzzin around in my
Grem and boy the more I am out the more comments, looks and stuff I
get. I drove it to the bar the other night and some guy said "I
LOVE YOUR GREMLIN~! I am soooo Jealous". Ha ha ha ha heh heh and
it's ALL MINE..... hehhh hehhh hehh (evil laughing here)....
