    Nice to see a shiny engine :)

    Keep the pics coming. I am sure you are eagerly waiting the moment when you can take her out on a drive.

    Looked good yesterday - I was over at Bobileff's and saw your ride inside the shop. Didn't see the engine bay prior to your pic, but it looks sharp now.

    Oh man, it's killing me the waiting. Now I have to go out of town soon and I still can't bring it home.

    Bruce, I'm gonna need some help in painting those console pieces. I think I'm changing out the door sills, I can't remember. If not I have to do that too. I'm going stock.

    As for stealing it, well, yes I did on price, but I'm spending it to get her presentable. Yeah, I know, plugz I didn't have to, that we could have done a lot of this. What am I gonna spend it on anyway, the cats?!

    Wait, I have an idea. Hey goth and plugz, ya wanna go get it for me while I'm away?

    Heh, YOU WISH!!!

    Yeah, sometimes ya just have to sacrifice for a brother. Ordinarily, I wouldn't, but Vince was there when we needed him, so I guess it's the least we can do. Hopefully he won't be out of town more than 6 months or so. I suppose he'll want us to keep the oil circulated and the tires from flatspotting too. Goth, you been wantin' a 348 anyway, so test driving this one will help you as well.

    Ok, I'm in! We "could" help Vince out long term plugz :eek: . I am sure that Vince will be very grateful to us for our selfless assitance to him in this matter.

    LOL :) So when will you be giving the keys to plugz Vince??? :p

    Wow, almost everything done and I can't get it until the 5th! Opted for new rear tires temporarily. New carpets, door moldings, leather dye. Detailing in and out and under the hood. Hmm, there's more cash in my account - what next! :p

    Note the cracking on the seat bolster - working on that. Goona take removal and restoration later. I decided it was less expensive to fix than replace with aftermarket seats. Got to get the wife in them first to see if she will be comfortable (i.e., fit in those narrow things). :D

    Vince, it looks beautiful. Thats what I expected it to look like when I went to look at it. The carpet looks stunning and for the engine bay.. all I can say is WOW!
    Next time I'm over by you I'll give you a call I'd like to see it in person again.

    Thought you'd approve. :D Now I got to find those 355 wheels for less than the price of a gold ingot.

    Ohhh, yeah! We should have an LA area 348-(355) meet sometime somewhere soon! Get Frank4Cars to take pix, have lunch and a drive. Maybe around a Supercar Sunday meet at the VCR. Last Sunday in March?
