Stereo sound nice  Mexicant
I was searching the other day for something that would fit perfect. But no luck yet. Other than getting one re-coned.

got the vinyl on last night and finished up the speaker grills. they look much better than those blingy modern things.
had to use a crinkle vinyl to match the stuff in the rear, couldn't find any smooth. It will hide the daily rubs and scrubs from stuff being back there
no loss of space in the back

|

After the car sitting for 20 odd years in Cali, I got it registered and running again. After doing less than 20 miles, we drove the car over to Belgium 600 mile round trip for its first show and shakedown run.
Awesome! road trip
On the ferry from UK to France
Pic my buddy took from his oval
At the show
A well earned rest up after the run
Few more jobs to do to get it just right.

| Got a 4 wheel alignment at Custom Alignment in Mt. View, CA. Now the car doesn't wander on the highway so much. The steering is still a bit quick though. |

Try dropping the air pressure in the front tires down. I'd try 22 psi first, then work your way down to around 19 psi like the glove box sticker says.

Sprung Adolf from the storage shed so I can get some things looked after and get back to daily driving  |
Did that on April 1st, but I need to clean up the shop (from all the crap that got shoved in there over the winter) first, so I have room to work.

Took my 72 out for it's first major trip out to Whidbey Island for a little shake down run. Need to adjust my timing, but it ran like a champ! Nice to finally have it out of the garage and back on the road.
