Finally!!! It Rolls! It ROCKS!!!

[John Thawley]

Wow...... finally got to roll out my new ride yesterday. These are a couple of pictures taken by Frank Calmes at an informal gathering of forum members in Michigan last night.

We've still got a bit of final tweaking to do before the birthday bash and my stereo guy as to do some finish work on the dash trim plate. BUT, for all intent and purposes, IT'S DONE!!! And, I love it!

Hopefully, the weather will be nice this weekend and I can get some detail shots to post. But for now....... here it is!
