Thanks a lot! I agree- the bed was one of the first things to go...

Hm, maybe something like that. I'm thinking a flat or 'matte' finish, deep dish, and pancaked center caps, ala trans am racers of the '70s...

Agreed. Gotta price check TT2s vs Coy's. I think they're actually pretty close these days. Looking at 18s or 20s. Problem with 18s is finding tires, plus the 20s just look 'right'...

You going to come over our way for Cruising the Coast?
Thanks! Don't know about CTC, but we will be headed out to GG Lonestar in a few weeks- gotta fix a small tranny leak first...
