Valve adjustment and tuning yesterday; now a couple of weeks to shake down before Pocono. Thanks, everyone, for your encouragement and support.

Why no tattoo on Claudia Schiffer's thigh? :lol:

... actually, that front light is connected to the turn signal, with a 10w lamp in place of the 2w side marker.

ok, but I thought Claudia DID have a tatoo? Maybe it's just a hickey?

Not the FFO show, that's for sure - but maybe a local one. I'm shocked, shocked, Denise, that you didn't bust me for painting those tail lamp housings!

Beautiful car! I did notice the taillights. The only reason it stuck out to me is that mine are also painted. A PO painted them to match the body paint. Mine dont look nearly as nice as yours do. In fact, that is one of the things I am currently trying to clean up. Sidemarkers, taillights, license plate lights are all painted the same red/orange of my car.
I actually like the color of yours. Is that a flat black? I may need to experiment with that, if my current experiments dont work out as planned.

Thanks, guys.

Jeremy, I used Rust Oleum 7220 Black Texture over Rust Oleum 209460 Plastic Primer. Don't know how durable it will be, but the car is garaged.

Good grief! How did I miss that? :shock: What kind of shoddy crap are you trying to pull? It still looks great. Kudos to you and your hard work! :mrgreen:
