Thanx. I'll have to float over and check em out. My wagon looks like @ZZ from the outside. I like it that for now. I've been beating it at Atco raceway, dragracing, and I wanna hit a few road coarses before any kinda body and paint happens. When I get all set up here on the forum, I'll add links to my car domain site where I have the Elky and Wagon up.

Welcome aboard from a fellow G-body owner! It's nice to see these cars taking off. Your wagon sounds like a great sleeper!

Hey, there was another fellow on this site a while back that was from Yardley also; he had a 3rd Gen F-body I believe. I only remember that, because I have family there too!

[liquidh8]

Awsome, that looks really fun! I wanna try that with the wagon, before I paint it and make it look nice. This way if I end up in the grass or worse, I won't feel bad. :hand: . I Have to get a few new pics of the wagon with the header fixed and the 17 inch wheels on it. I don't have recent pics of it on my cardomain site.
