Nice, car sounds good man. I'm starting to get ready also, I'll hopefully go pull mine out of storage next weekend. You must be getting very excited. I know I am and mine has only been stored for 6 months. I don't think I could go more than a year without driving it.

It is the 79 that I keep back as mine, I never put it up for sale or ever make a price on it.





I have a new set of Glass headlights for it and will be getting a set of HID's for it. Just put a set in my truck and they are BRIGHT.

I need to take some new pics, To show off the Black seats and carpet.

Not in the booth yet, It will be a while before It makes it.

she really really likes the LE and has no intentions of ever saleing it. I Have an LE you might like even better. http://www.matthewnanney.com/1979LE.htm


I wish I could dive my car a bit more, but with 2 kids and shuttle duty monday becomes the only day I can even try to drive it.
