Thanks everyone for the welcome.
Everytime I head to the coast, there are a couple places i stop at to see what other trinkets I can get/afford.
At some ponit I am needing a stock spare tire/wheel combo if anyone has 1 kicking around. I tried phoning the local wreckers and tire stores here and mostly got amusing responses.
Gotta say since I started driving ol cranky around , it gets alot of stares and good comments.
At some point I will get a photobucket account to post some photos of the ol guy
Again Thanks
