Beautiful car, love the color! (though a bit of work I've found to keep looking good)
Please keep the pictures coming, before & after.

Lately I have been in a "keep it original" mode. Once I start getting in to the project a few mods may creep in. The car is all original right now with 0 mods.

Hey Tim thanks again for your pics. As of right now pretty much going to keep it stock.

I told the driver he had the wrong paperwork and that I was to take delivery of the Ferrari, but I gave myself away when I came up in my Porsche t-shirt.

Allill is your car the pearl color of the midnight blue metallic or just midnight blue metallic (code 39C)? Mine is the plain version(39C). Your paint is great I hope I can bring this 13 year old paint back to life. It looks good, but the PO just did washes and a yearly BS wax job. I tested a spot last night and it looks like it will come out just fine. Pics to follow of my progress.

BIG BLUE IT IS. Although I hate that because I went to U of L (Louisville) and my wife went to UK (Kentucky a.k.a. Big Blue) I hate UK, but it's still a good name for the car. Did I mention I hate UK.

Hey Mark. I decided to have it shipped back, not that I didn't want to get together wth the MD gang, it was faster and almost cheaper believe it or not. plus I wasn't to keen on a 13 hour 800 mile drive.

Mark:

I have been in the stock mode for the past 2 cars. Hey, I have got to be me. I will most likely do a wheel change, but that is most likely the extent of the mods. Now if I had a 96 Blue Turquoise/Grey cab HMMMMM.........

Looking forward to the progress.

Hey... when you're ready for a red cab project, let me know. I know you already did mine a year or two back, but it could certainly benefit from your touch again I'm sure and in the next 6 - 8 months, I may be very seriously trying to sell.

Thanks again for shipping that lock to me Mike! I really appreciate it.
