Lazy Saturday morning so I decided to clean up on of the fenders on the square to see how it would shine up... admittedly, I've yet to really give it a proper cleaning... maybe I should do it more considering that I spent about five minutes on this.

the wheels are back from the polisher. I am really happy with how they turned out. The new setup will be 16x6 in front and 16x7

Oh and I've picked up one of Pedro's racks. I'm working on making a bike rack for it. :)

This is the semi-official look for this season. Gone are the eyelids and visor. They've been replaced with a Pedro rack and soon to be attachment for the Schwinn. The 8" rears have been replaced with the 7" fronts and 6" wides have been added to the front. 8)

very cool square - like the changes - good work for a Saturday. Front clear indicators would look great on the car (IMO) -

Thanks.

I thought about the clear indicators but I can't seem to find any. :D

I think I dig the final results of how its sitting. Hopefully, it won't rub as much as it used to. :D

And one of my favorite things on the car...

Figured out a way to take the Schwinn with me :)

Looking good, thought you were thing about selling the Square.

Its a 13.5" Mountney steering wheel. I don't remember where I got the carpet kit... TMI maybe, not sure. And no, I'm not selling it... at least not for a long while.

Big girls need love too Supa.

Multi coastal photo shoot!

Yes I did Dave, picked em up at Keith's on our way back from the lake... got a sneak peek at his current project too.

I didn't think I was going to like the seat color because its not a pure red, its more of a brickish coral color but I think it looks pretty good. The seats are in awesome condition for being 46 years old!

Cruising around 2010 Fall Show N Go... with a sneak peek at maybe the next set of wheels.

Bought a CB radio on ebay. I can't wait to install it!

I think its from the mid 70's so close enough to go into the race car.

found this ad from CB magazine from June of '75
