Steeler - I know Scotty (now there you go, you've got me doing it too!) is a great dependable source. I can check to see if Barnard has a convertable alocation if you want? It's a bit closer than you know who.

Scott, regardless of who you order from, it's pretty seamless. Becky had my car delivered to East Syracuse Chevrolet, and they did an awesome job prepping it for me. (They even let me watch) They treated me like they sold me the car themselves.

Had about 20 minutes of sun yesterday. Hand washed my car and went for a nice drive to Syracuse. Made it home in time for the rain. LOL Oh well. Just an excuse to go out and wash it again. I almost find hand washing the car theraputic. Until the next morning when my back is aching. Yay back problems. The neighbors must think I have OCD.

UUUGH Sorry about the hail damage =/

I was freaking out last night as I do not have a garage. Sorry to hear about the dents.

Congrats on the upgrades for the wife's car!


@steeler. I'm off mondays and tuesdays. Let's meet up for coffee or something. I don't know Cazenovia (or was it Manlius?) too well but let me know what works for you.

Duncan - Sorry to hear about the hail damage. I probably would cry.

I was finally able to take 'Gypsy' for a ride this morning with the top down.
Pictures were taken with a phone and no matter how much I tried to adjust the exposure they are still crappy. I need to get better pictures of the stripes since it was really bright this morning.
I LOVE this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, please don't 'beat' me up too bad that I picked purple stripes, I truly love them and she is a girls car after all.

[TSSUNAMI]

The purple on black looks good! It's your car after all. No beating up deserved imo.

[Duncan420]

i like the stripes. iwas standing in the doorway of the garage watching the hail bounce off the car.there was nothing i could do.our 36 hotrod was in there and that has a 12k paint job.i guess it could have been worse.

HI Duncan, When you say 427 do you mean the your getting a motor swap for an LS7 427 ?
