            Nice job. With so much paint missing and fairly light rust, I was thinking a southwest car, but they rust from the top down and the top looks pretty good. Great find.

                Just a quick question for Markm...

                Did you see his transmission as being 'smurf blue' ???

                If so, have you seen your eye doctor recently? Do they give color tests at your doctor's office?

                  You missed my point that bright green is out there with Tim's Smurf Blue trannies.

                    LOL I had that thought after... those colors ARE eye catching! Not that I'd want my underneath parts painted like that!

                      Probabally a dumb question but what is the purpose of the flat center caps on the rear, there is a local with a Bubbletop that has them too.

                          It just covers up the dust caps (front) or the axle ends in the rear. Didn't they originally come with a cap on them?

                            I was thinking maybe it had to do with drag or something.
