    Yes sir. I've seen pics if yours around here, yours is just gorgeous. I was almost disappointed when I saw yours because it is so close to what I would like mine to look like someday with nicer paint, gold meshies, bright trim and I'll eventually need to get a roof rack for my bike.

    I need to find mesh wheels with a good offset that don't use covers so I can keep my long studs.

      I like the way that sounds! I went for more low and need to put wood on the roof rack! But you seem to have tons of potential!!

          I came here to agree with this. I too love this smell, and when the weather starting warming up this spring after a long winter and the car started off-gassing (or whatever it does) again, I couldn't have been happier.

          Sweet car too! Like you not always a fan of cars with too much black (wheels, trim, etc.) but here it is definitely working.

            I'm not positive, but I imagine the smell comes from the decomposition of various organic components used in the interior, like cardboard in the door cards and the stuffing in the early sprung seats. Newer cars are all plastic and don't get that.
