eh, i would, but our neighbors who share the driveway are having a garage sale and i dont feel like using up precious gas to go somewhere nice to take pics lol. ill wait a bit.
although if all goes well i may be dropping the snake off at a shop later today for the blower install.
if i have any money left after that ill take it down to Maier Racing in Hayward and see if i can get my hands on some old Monroe Handler body panels (namely, the rear bumper and extreme ductail and possible a fiberglass hatch.
and if i have money ater THAT ill take it to the paint shop. im thinking of candy red, blacked out hood (low-gloss) black cobra II stripes, but with the shelby font/style of striping (also low-gloss black) and a blacked out tailight panel (yeah, you guessed it, low-gloss) and maybe some alum rear window louvers. Im also going to paint my ten-holes that i have in the garage black. well... as soon as i can afford 15" tires [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
what i wouldnt give for some traction lol

hehe the sidepipes are great. next to the sound, i think the best part about them is scaring the crap out of the people standing around ur car when u start it. my friends were standing around looking in thru the windows not realizing there legs (wearing shorts) were exposed to my sidepipes lol. oh man did they jump! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]
