Thanks for the gauges advice guys

The GREEN is kinda scary / kinda Bad Ass... I'll have to see it.. The wheels are a statement.. Again I'll have to see them,

Flynlow-
Maybe eyou can go out and see this thing with me..
The car in VA, The engine did run very well. And it is RUST FREE with a good body.. The nose was kinda dinged and mushroomed on one rear edge, that was kinda a bummer..The paint was very badly done.. A real Earl Shieb job. But I wasn't worried about that much. Overall I just thought I could do better for the money.
There were lots of little things that were broken or in weak shape as well as the suspension being a lot worse off then I had hoped.. The car clunked a bit when shifting.. and when I stomped it on the freeway the whole car kinda lifted and twisted in the front.. I never felt that before..

If I coulda gotten it for $7000.00 I probobly would have done it. But I was looking at $8000.00 by the time it was home.. The fella wasnt budging on price.. He was a very nice guy, It was more of a project then I was hoping for..
