Here's the cardboard template I made. I guess I'll use plywood to actually make it. Any advice for this? I figure I'll have to cut it in half down the middle so it'll actually fit in the car

MDF would probably work well. Why would you have to cut it in half? You should be able to angle it in, then drop the rear end down, and fit the whole thing. I would try that with the cardboard first before thinking about cutting the final piece in two.

Don't forget that Penn State has what, 15 or so branch campuses as well? I went to the Main Campus (class of '88); had a great time. I do like that UPenn people get all pissy when people confuse it for Penn State, and vice versa. :lol:

Doesn't that gas cap annoy you? I had one for a while before replacing it with a stock one. Might be my girlyman hands, though.

I should probably clean out the area around mine like you did yours. b Living in NJ, you forget to worry about that part, since we don't pump our own gas. Still don't understand that rule myself. :rolleyes1:

It's a Stant replacement cap. Nice, sharp edges exactly where you don't want 'em.

wow, i would have a rim repair company look at it. b

I agree. Bent wheels are no good.

I imagine that would be pretty expensive though, any idea how much? I'm not super worried about it

Give Wheel Collision Center in Bath a call; they were reasonable when they fixed one of my rims.

Edit: The pics show up fine for me. Also, WCC looks like they have at least one of those rims in stock.

Wow. I'm probably pretty much older than you, but feel free to pretend I'm your younger brother.

We can discuss the details at the meet. b

Car looks awesome; love that vc.

Congrats. Always good to keep a car like that in the family. Niagara is only a couple of months away. b
