1st ride around town

[JetMech727]

Took the car out for her 1st cruise through town tonight. She got her 1st full tank of gas while out as well. Still a few little nitnoid items to clean up and time to get serious about an interior.

That colour so suits that car! Love it.

 

[Spanky]

That's awesome. Are you still grinning???

 

[Neshkoro]

I like the name of the gas station!

 

[Neshkoro]

And the car. Looks really nice!

 

[rbsWELDER]

Looks Great!!!

 

[Indycars]

Looks fantastic Jim !!!

The car even matches the pump and railing color.

 

[Island Girl]

I'm so totally jealous now!

Looks awesome!

Nice job on the build

 

[Neshkoro]

Sometimes seeing someone else having their bucket finished or nearly finished gives you the impetus to get moving!

Thanks AusBucket! What color do you visualize the interior?

I like the name of the gas station!

Yeah. Waiting for the PC police to go after them next.

Nice job on the build

Thanks Josh. I have a new project in mind and have been looking your 27 over.

Thanks for the compliments guy's & gal! Much appreciated! It is nice to have it running. Thanks to Rick for giving me the swift kick when I needed it. And yes Spanky, BIG AZZ grin! Notice the rear tires? They've been scuffed nicely. Another 3 - 5lbs of air out should give me a full contact patch.

And those headlights ""SUCK"" on low beam!!! And ain't great on high.

You make it sound like it was just one swift kick, when it was at least
three ! Jim's in the BLUE shirt.

Gezz! I guess there is another trip to Claremore Oklahoma in my future !

In my mind, only 2 color options: tan or black. Tan would be cooler in summer, but . . . black sure looks nice with red and chrome.

Probably not for a kick anyway.

I'll wait until AusBucket responds before I tell.

Hopefully in April we can schedule a day to meet half way between Claremore and Yukon for lunch!

G'Day JetMech,
A light tan would work, but I reckon a mid to dark brown would look even better. Not a big fan of black in an open car light that, get's too hot in the sun. Looking forward to seeing what you decided upon.

Reds pretty universal , red to match the car , bright red and dark red pleats , tan/ beige, black , white , medium grey ......
AFA black , if you keep your butt in the seat , it doesn't get too warm , leaving it , even for a few minutes , it gets HOT !
We put an old beach towel on the seat in the summer ..

I'm not a fan of black either AB. I'm leaning towards a darker tan. Something between brown & tan. Something rich & sexy looking. Haven't found the color yet, but I'll know it when I do. May end up having to go with something in the Ultraleather line? I've got some splotches ordered.
