Purchased: 2003-10-01

Engine

316 strat-o-streak

Exterior

basic flat black

Interior

old school pinstriped dash, no headliner, no door panels, none of that wussy stuff, all business. Mexican blanket seat covers do the job just fine...

Suspension

pretty much stock, 2 coils cut out of the front springs, spacers added to the shock towers to keep from bustin' holes in the A arms

Wheels

factory steel, cardinal red

Stereo

none, for now, who could hear it over the exhaust anyway?

Future Plans

no, it isnt a bonneville, but that's the closest thing to it in the list of cars...

as for future plans, it's all stuff that will piss the traditionalists off, I'm leaving the exterior and interior pretty much as-is, but the engine is going to be fitted with multiport injection, fired by a MegaSquirtII ECU, also on the list are better front brakes because it sucks now slowing down from 125, much less what it will run later on.
