It's ALIVE!!! The CYM's on the road

I've still got minor crap to do to it; a couple of guages, some interior pieces, and it needs to be tuned. Had a BEAUTIFUL day today mid 70's partly cloudy, etc--took an 80-mile around town journey. Felt wonderful. Just thought I'd share a pic.

They're Fikse rims--I'm not sure what model, though. They're 17x9 and 17x11.

Daaamn, CYMs are beautiful. I dont think I could part with mine to get one though. I like the red too much to switch.

11" width lip edge to lip edge, or 11" nominal (bead to bead)? Do you know what the offset is? Nice car.

Hey Ben,
Good to see 'er on the road, I like the color! You planning on bringing her to the Revolution this year? Did you get all the stuff sold off the silver one yet? It's a good feeling driving around for a maiden voyage after a long hibernation! Looks great, and I am sure it runs even better.

Art--I'll be at the RR next month, in fact, it's going to be FAR more fun than it was last year. I can't wait. I'll have slightly less chrome than you, though...heh

Clayne--I had a beautiful silver touring that some drunk was kind enough to take away from me in Nov. I bought the yellow one as a rolling chassis from Mark Jarvis. I put the entire drivetrain, interior, gauges, electronics, etc from my silver car in the yellow.

Skunks--It's a True CYM, but it's been repainted. When it was painted, they used the factory paint code, but whatever brand of paint they used had MUCH bigger pearls in it, so it gleams more.

Its def. screaming yellow guys. The pictures don't even do it justice in my opinion. The paint looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

ABOUT TIME YOU GOT PICS UP, BTW.....

Great to hear it Ben, I'll see you on the way probably, I don't know if the KC guys will stop off to meet up with you guys though, we can cut about an hour off the trip if we go North on 270 around St.L. Don't worry about the chrome though, I'm sure you have more HP now to more than compensate! I'll keep mine the way it is for now thanks. If it ain't broken, don't fix it! Thats my motto.

Glad to see it back on the road Ben. You are going to have to take me for a ride in it (or better yet let me dive it) next time I am in St. Louis.
