Took my car out for it's first wash of the season. Took a few pix and figured I would share.

In this background you can see the start of my "Drag strip".

Kinda cool how I caught one of only two trees on the whole dang block in the side of the car. Did not notice it till I downloaded it.

I thought this was kinda cool. So clean you could see the house in the reflection. In a dark car sure but ours, not usually.

sorry bout your car. I'm glad it wasn't any worse.

Kelly, the photos look great. I was hoping mine would be ready for Cars & Coffee Dallas tomorrow, but looks like Monday instead. I told my contact at Huffines that I was in no rush, have them get it right. If the paint matching is not perfect, I'm sending it back in. Those mirrors stripes you added are a very nice touch.

Love the fender emblems. Where did you get them?

TBone · 04-02-2011, 12:15 PM

www.drclassic.com. They are local to me so I was able to go in and pick out the ones I wanted. The ones I have are the ones off of a true '69 so I had to grind the nubs off where they bolt through the fender. I do know of a guy who actually drilled the holes and bolted his on though but mine are 3m double sided taped on.

I would love to own a 5th gen someday.
While I may only be dreaming of course, since ABM is the only color I like out of all the colors, and since it is now discontinued, would I be hated if I bought say like a white a 2011 2SS like the way I wanted with all my options and then have the car professionally painted ABM, would I still be allowed to post in the ABM forum as I am so welcome to now?

His car's not an RS...

TripleB · 04-02-2011, 08:04 PM

Yeah I noticed that, I had always just thought he had the rs package before. Didn't look that closely. I think those are the rims I want. I don't like chrome and I'm not a huge fan of the midnight silver either.

thanks Kirk, I thought it would bring a little extra snap to the look.

Yes, they are painted aluminum.

Not quite sure yet. I am considering throwing some drag radials on the backs for track days but, again, not sure.

While I have your attention, and Venom, do you both think the Chrome or Anthracite TTM's would look better on mine?

I have seen a pic of an ABM with the Chrome TTM's but not the Anthracite so I don't know how those would look.
