    Well the thing is I am temporarily prettying her up for a big car cruise in Ocean City in October. but after I get back I plan to complete restore it and make a grabber clone out of it. But for now I am fixing some roug spots, cleaned up the 250i6 and going to primer it and take it just to have something.
