Oh wow, thank you! That's some pretty high praise. I really appreciate it. It was a really good score on part picking it up in the condition it was. I've tried to fix her up with a few updates and personal touches without going crazy and ruining it. Still auto, no cd player, no sticker bombing (I think mine are decently tasteful anyway), etc.
She still has a ways to go before I think she's perfect, but I'm hoping to stay true to the great condition and heritage the car has. Feel free to follow the thread and see what happens.
It's a custom painted 'woody II' made by Grip Royal. It feels great in my hands, but cannot attest to how it handles installed. Some after market wheels are very flimsy with thin metal so I'm hoping this isn't like that. It feels pretty solid so I'm praying it turns out well. Decent price for a good looking and custom finish as well.
Once again, GoonFan came to my rescue. This makes 3 for 3 breakdowns that he's been able to get me back on the road: one blow out, one flat, and one dead battery. I mos def owe him for all the help.
