     Picture was taken at Lake Winnebago, Wi. when I was visiting in-laws. Drove the the car there from Maryland when I was stationed there. This was the longest road trip I've taken the car on since I rebuilt the trans and added the GV. I am an enlisted guy so I've done most of the work on this car in house, motor, trans, engine bay, suspension, A/C, exhaust... can't afford to have somebody do it for me, but that is the point of the hobby.  I've had to farm the paint out because it wasn't feasible at the time. The color is off the Sherwin Williams Hot Rod selection, simply "Bright Yellow". Hope you like some pictures:
