Yes i remember we conversated about that yeller one.I was in FL and wanted it.If i had been on a manic high it is possible nothing would have stopped me from acquiring it lol.Thankfully my practical side talked myself out of it this time.I also was tempted to buy those smoothies lol.I had sold one off a project car when someone else needed one knowing i may never get to that project anyway.I enjoy the hunt and the rush of aquisition way more than the pride of owner ship so i am learning to curb that impulse.

Yea, I have a Pile of Parts to install right now because I keep buying "Rare" options. I opened up the box with the smoothies in it and my wife was like "Why did you buy Tail Lights? Don't yours work already?" She just couldn't comprehend why they were special... Showed them to my little brother the other day and he was like "Sweet! How do I get a set of those" My wife was just shaking her head in the corner lol

So we decided to give the car a bath yesterday and found out that it isn't quite as straight as we though...

First of all the Passenger side door used to be red at one point and is just slightly bent at the bottom front corner.
There is a little bit or rust on the right rear quarter panel at the bottom right in front of the wheel.
There are a couple small surface rust spots here and there.
The one that Perplexed me the most is that there a giant Crack in the paint in the roof of the car?!?

I realize that the amount of rust that I'm seeing is very minimal compared to what some of you have to deal with but it still upsets me that this car isn't as pristine as I thought. I did get it started with some Starting Fluid sprayed in the air box but it doesn't run for long afterwards. The fuel in that car is old and crappy so that is expected.

I will try to get some pictures of the bad areas this weekend.
