Franknbeans,
I thought about that. And it seems the perfect solution. Then, that nagging whispering voice in the back of my head says, "here we are 35 years from now, your car has 35k original miles on it, all numbers match, sure it's only a V6, but this thing is PRISTINE. Hey.. where are your midnight silver wheels?" and I cringe a little. I realize it's ridiculous.
But I hate to mangle original cars. I wish GM would sell me an RS package wheels-delete. They won't, so I'll let you all know if I find a solution.
