I bow to your superior pimping, You, Sir, now own the title "The Pimpster".
It is so out there, I would keep it. If you have the personality to go with it, it will be a hoot.
I used to drive a 53 Ford 4 door sedan, BAD 50's custom job, bright red, with lake pipes. So horrible I don't have pictures. One of my friends claimed he heard circus caliope music whenever I pulled up and expected 15 clowns to get out of the back seat.
A must have accessory...

And, Straight out of Georgia...The former owner builder

Re: New to site with 2 roadsters
Criminey. Has it been almost 7 years? I still have both roadsters still in the same state. In the time that elapsed I became an autobody painter, then got done with that before it killed me. So, I've been working on other projects since then.
Here is my 78 civic CVCC. I just have the yellow one now.

And here is my 71 VW Karmann Ghia which is not quite done yet, but getting there. Words cannot describe how bad of shape this was in. The 67.5 Datsun is not even close to this bad.

I had both of thes cars before the Datsuns, so in reality I'm restoring them in the order I got them.
I can't keep them all, but I see all this as practice for restoring the early 2000. I don't have to have it all original, but I do want it to be nice. Next on the list is the 69 2000. I tore it down a long time ago, and compared to the Ghia it's a peach. I hope to get it to decent driver quality. And, shoot, I actually know what I'm doing now.
Hope to get to it this spring. More updates later. But sooner this time.

Re: New to site with 2 roadsters
I was the proud owner of a 1976 Honda CVCC from 1981 - 2000 when I sold it to purchase a 1988 VW Vanagon.
Not sure I did the right thing!
But nothing is as fun to drive as my roadster. Welcome
