Default Just bought my first....

Hello everyone, I just joined Rennlist & find it very informative. I am now the proud owner of a 97' C2 Cab w/40k miles & smile everytime I get in it.

It was nice until a freak hail storm decided that I needed a new hood & paint job. I am still trying to figure out how hail the size of golf ***** happens in 105 degree weather in the middle of summer on the west coast?

Your car looks like a real beauty. I'm a big fan of the techart wheels. Let me know if you decide to change them.
