Nice photos, guys! No, I'm not new to the area--in fact, I grew up in Edmonds... but I can't seem to find the kind of backdrop I'm looking for. I went to Lake Sammammish with my old 94Z, which, other than the salad shooters I had, looked almost identical to your 97, bad. I had the black halo, though. Loved that car
I will keep looking. If any of you get divine inspiration, let me know
