      hehe...thanks guys. I'll be putting the new 4WD I got on the road soon, then lookout! The GT is going into the garage for what I'm hoping to be full restoration and won't come out until there's a ZE in there. Plan is to powdercoat almost everything under the car gloss black (subframe, swaybars, control arms, valvecovers, etc.), painted certain things flat black (calipers, rotor hats), and polish/clearcoat whats left (intake mani). I'll also be stripping the engine bay and sanding/painting it as well as the wheel wells and any other areas that may have some rust developing.

      Thanks again for the compliments!

                          Whups, just saw this reply. I'm not going anywhere. A parting gift is what they call it when you're on a gameshow, don't win, and then they give you a 'lovely parting gift' as a next-best.
