Thanks, this is my first attempt, Sherwin-Williams is mixing stain to match the factory wood. Looking forward to finishing it up, putting my own twist on the Garson center consoles for the rear
just a heads up if you didnt already think of this, autozone sells these chrome molding strip with double sided tape that seem to be about the same thickness of your table, it makes a very nice touch if you decide to wrap it around the table.

Today, I replaced my engine and transmission mounts! Damn the car feels great! I can't even tell the car is on, no vibration whatsoever. I was riding dirty for 247K miles, lol. This is the first time this car ever had it done. Man oh man, everyone should replace their mounts.

Yesterday would have been a great day for video.....I woke up and literally said to myself " I'm gonna drive the s#it out of this car today". And that's pretty much what i did for 1 1/2 hrs. It was only like 28 degrees so it was all over the place.....but damn it was fun.

I usually baby her.....not yesterday! 😁

Wow Tony. She's clean underneath!

Today I listened to my exhaust all day and smiled, but I cried when I realised my VSV valve has gone faulty. 6 hour job coming up.........

Oh I know that feeling. It's been snowing and icing like every week lately and I do not drive the car since I don't want all the road salt and crap to get on it. So I'm left with staring at the car for a bit while I let her run for a several minutes so that my battery stays charged.
