OMG..Glen, she looks outstanding..Can't wait to see her in person..About 13 weeks from now, right?..Since this will be a C-3 event I'll let you and that pretty 1976 lead the way with the other C-3's and I bring up the rear..Elba say's it's still to early to start packing..But, I'm almost done with my 3M clear masking of the car.. The only thing that needs to be done is install the new tires, and the new nose mask..She ships on the Vessel leaving Anchorage on the 12 of June and I'll see you on the 19th of June when the Caravan hits Highway 97 or sometime after that? Maybe at the BBQ in Redmond..I'll call ya..Terry

They look great, Glen. 
I think they really complement the shark's looks.

[QUOTE=sundevil74]Sweet combo! I'm also thinking about a tire/wheel upgrade (but thinking is about all I can do at the moment). Like many of you, I have a list of future improvements as long as my arm, and wheels are not that high on the list.
[/QUOTE] Hey Mike,
I'm also thinking about a tire/wheel upgrade (but thinking is about all I can do at the moment). Like many of you, I have a list of future improvements as long as my arm, and wheels are not that high on the list.
I'm considering taller, wider wheels (16, 17) with lower profile tires. I currently have stock 15" rallys with BRAND NEW TAs now. I'm sure someone will be interested in them if I do upgrade. That MIGHT make it doable.
I'm gettin' about ready to re-shoe the '71. Depending on when, I would be interested in your TA's. Let me know what your plans are... Dwain
I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...
