I had not given that any though until you mentioned it so it is what it is.
Fairly non de-script black vinyl, doesn’t seem to clash with what I had but I will be replacing all the interior (oh joy)

A little winterizing this week. Flushed the radiator and topped her up with some fresh anti-freeze. Bought a new battery! The old one was from 2003 - not too bad!

More winterizing...filled the tanks with non-ethanol gas, pulled the batteries for indoor storage, set tire pressure, strategically located dryer sheets...

It looks like another year of roadstering is over in Western NY :cry:

Oz is my number one place to visit on my bucket list. I hope to have the pleasure someday soon!

My company does work there...trying to convince them to send me.

Beautiful weather in Las Vegas today. So for the first time in more than 2 years, I *drove* her to work today. Loved the sound so much that I drove all the way to the top of the garage.

My condolences.... Okay everyone, break out the extra parts. I probably need a fender myself.

At least you won't have to replace the air bags :shock:

BUMMER - Assuming everyone is OK - things can be fixed. Who do you have for insurance?

Kevin says it's fixable.. I'm in line again..lol

The good news is I was supposed to go to track day today, so I had the roll bar, seat, and harness in.. Im fine except a tiny bit sore on the shoulders.. She was fine, just wanted to leave before the police came.. Car is drivable after Kevin did a quick and dirty pull on the front fenders late last night. It needs fenders, hood, and grill support/area in front of the radiator support. Kevin has some other cars to build, so I have time to find the parts before we get to work.

It will be fixed. It drove home and chassis felt good. We will of course check it out when the body work is done.

Glad the front fenders did not damage the doors as well. I've personally seen that on my old 69.
