Congratulations on your graduation. She looks terrific!

I love the look on your navigator in that picture! He looks very pleased with your work.

The color combination looks very nice, and the engine is awesome; love the valve covers! Well done!

Thanks everyone. Took my car on a longer trip this weekend . . . . 300+ miles round trip. Some Interstate and back road driving. I was pleased overall. Tracked real nice and felt comfortable and stable. Will be taking it across the state to Daytona Turkey Run in a couple of weeks.

[Gatorguy]

I like the top, though I have not used it too much at this point. We do have some rainy days here in Florida so I anticipate using it some. As well as cold weather . . . which we don't have too much of. :) I did install A/C so maybe in the dead heat of summer will try the top with the A/C.
