You guys are awesome! Good Grief Streets...where do ya pull up all that stuff???? I had Hitman & Gary Lisks website bookmarked when I was researching which year t/a I wanted to get...took me months to find all the info ha ha, you get it in 5 minutes!!!! Anyhow, this'll give me somethin to chew on for at least a week ha ha!

1 more ?? for you experienced custom hot rodders....
I need to find a local hot rod business to walk me through the choices...how do I know if i'm dealin with someone who knows their stuff? Right now everyone knows more than me... Are there a few basic ? I can ask or stuff to look for in the shop? I visited a couple places in my town and they both showed me some fantastic examples of their work, but I don't know what i'm lookin at...pretty colors ha ha that's about as far as I got.

DAVE!!! Thanks for the encouragement!!! I was going to buy a beautiful NASCAR Edition Turbo T/A...but it didn't seem right b/c I started thinkin...what the heck am I going to do with this car besides maintain it??? When the carpet is worn...i'd just replace it with the same stuff???? BORINGGGGGG!!!! When I saw this burgandy Turbo T/A I thought...here's something that I wouldn't feel guilty about changin...it's gorgeous as is = instant gratification...but about 100 things I could do to make it "mine" over the years = long term interest. I love your motto...anybody can restore a classic...takes a man to cut one up...did i get that right? LOL...it's perfect...
