That's bad-ace! Sweet paint, what did you go with, bc/cc? single stage?, what wheels are you going with?
Nice to see another fellow fastback owner in the mitten state, I think that makes us almost family. |

Spritstars & polished 8 spokes are both great choices and will look sweet on that red beauty.

We didn't get that much snow we got the fridge COLD this morning it was -27f deg
with the wind chill factored in it was about -45f deg burrrrrrr!!
but it finaly warmed up this evening to +2f deg. it's tough to work on the notch in this weather, with no garage heater.
Your fasty looks great keep up the good work.
