Topping it off

I got my car back from having the new top put on yesterday. I am kinda pumped up. This was the last big piece of the body off Resto that started in Dec 2012. Hood stripes and color sanding completed over the winter. Ready to have some summertime fun.

Looking good! You should be excited.

I like that it isn't too bright of a shade and blends well with the body color.

Put on "Heading Out To The Highway" by Judas Priest when you get out on the road because in that bad boy you got nothing to lose at all - magnificent!!!!!

Thanks for the comments guys. Not sure why the pics turned out so orange. It really is Rally Red and nowhere near as orange as the pics have you believe. I am really pumped. Listening to a Classic station on the way home this afternoon and Steppenwolf Born to be Wild came on......How can you not put you foot through the floorboard when that happens

295/50R15 on the rear and 255/60R15's on the front, all on 15x8's.
I am going to start another thread soon on springs to get some advise. It is sitting too low in the rear. Maybe too high in the front? The stance does not show well in these pics because of the position of the car.
