Here's mine 3 days after I bought it in '99
Here's the latest pics taken a week ago while out on a drive.
Probaby getting new rims, cowl hood and painting it next year. I was planning on getting a hood and new paint this year but my transmission went out again so that was a big chunk of money. Also I'm right in the middle of building a 350

BTW, the IROC stickers are in a cabinet in my garage. I just haven't worked up the nerve to put them on. I got real used to the plain look.
