Post by cohocarl »

I finally got it tonight!! Ordered July 1, 2002, so it took a little over 8 weeks. Here's a rather low res of it below. I already have some aluminum wheels to replace the steel ones. Hope to get those on before the weekend. Gotta go play!!See Ya,Carl[Modified by cohocarl, 11:05 PM 8/27/2002]

Nope, wasn't me. I picked it up at Mcardles in Midland, but only drove it home here in Auburn, then around the block a couple times. I even let the wife take it for a spin. I'll call Discount tire tomorrow to see if they can fit me in. I picked up some inexpensive 5 spoke "X-Wheel" 16 in to replace the stock steel & hubcaps. I'll store those up in the barn till it's time to sell. I think it will look fine. Actually, I think the stock steel wheels & hubcaps look pretty good too.Rasermon- you get a 4 day weekend coming up? I'm sure we will be heading over to B.C. sometime this weekend.See ya,Carl
