    Ronald sent me more pics of his car several weeks ago. I finally got around
    to scanning them today.

    Seth: Thanks for posting the pictures for me. I now have the front bumper and wheel lip molding on. did a little more under the hood and finally got the paint buffed out. I hope to have the silver stripes on by spring.

    Options...

    Tim,
    Column shift was standard with A/T being an option. Floor shift was another option.
    Note your window sticker attached-$13.44 for floor shift.


    Happy Thanksgiving to you and Rhonda. :wave:

    Hey Seth

    Thanks I have never seen anything but floor shift GTs. I was down Durham this morning but it was not for fun.I have to go back in the morning for more tests. Seems I have "Irritable Bowel Syndrome". Nothing like getting old:bs:

    Let me know when you get the decals cause I might pick mine up when I go back for Drs visit on Dec7th if they are ready. Also if you need any help on the tank swap let me know and if Im off work I can come down and help ya.
    Tim
    Happy Thanksgiving to You & Your Family.
