:rolleyes:  yeah, sure Vinnie.  :rollin:

Merc Man, I have to second Vinnie's suggestion.  Get some nice wheels on there, switch to the hubcaps for the concours.

Sorry Fella's as you all know I have no say so on this matter since it's my wife's (Paula) Baby. It is staying this way as long as we own this Kitty. :poke: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:

Thank You, It is tough doing so because my wife drives her "Cat" for a DD also...However I do get to drive it to Carshows so it is worth my time of cleaning it friend. ;)
