She's in for new paint, including painted stripes that I've always wanted, @Vinnie_B. 40K miles (mostly) on Colorado's gravel-strewn roads, took its toll on the front clip. Last year's Route 66 trip was a blast, but left her with damage to one of the vinyl stripes. Rather than painting just...

Congrats and welcome! You're in the best place for '13/'14 advice. FWIW, I agree with what others have said.

That sounds like progress. May I ask why you decided to go with a lower instead of an upper?

Beautiful work, as always!

Another beautiful job on a great car, with a proper gear box. (y)
