Here is a stainless belly pan,and air pickup made from an old BBQ hood.

A bit of butt cheek R & R on the 83.
Since it's wintertime the drop light is underneath warming the metal so the paint goes off properly.

Strips of grip tape from West Marine keep the spare from burning through the paint.

I dig all of your wagons so much. You should call this one ''blackie'' just for the irony.

I really miss the Seafoam car, :grrr:
it was like a little jack rabbit the way it hopped down the road.:-D

You and your wagons. I picked up that '79 245 a few days ago. Now my '82 is being torn down to sacrifice itself for it..
