Looking good.  I have a triple black bird as well.  I am fitting some Crager soft 8's on mine.  You know you can get OEM carpet in black right?

yes the one tire is cracked, I dont really plan on actually driving long ways with these tires on, there more for just my entertainment. I put them on the car to see if I would even like the style or if i just waisted $50, and well I actually like the style of having drags on the car. I thought about later on down the road getting my enkei rims raped in nitto drags radials. I don't want slicks I'll prolly go a step above slicks, but oh well back to reality on the motor. The head is in the shop and trying to get my hands on a valve cover from jangus.

Just love getting told from the upholstery shop that they cant recover my sun visors just because of there being a mirror on them. So now I have a redun headliner and sun shade but shiznitty sun visors ya that's going to piss me off.

Well starting to work on the motor. Just droped the head off at the shop to get cleaned. But the only problem I found today was I think the motor is locked up from sitting so long. I have the cylinders soaking in oil right now hopeing tomorrow ill be able to turn the motor. If not looks like im ganna be doing an engine swap. Fingers crossed.

Find another upholstery shop. I had a local seat cover/upholstery shop do my visors when I changed to a black headliner. I did the headliner myself and it turned out pretty nice but was a royal pain with the moonroof. They charged me $80 to do the visors with my leftover headliner material and I sprayed the red mirror covers with a black plastic paint. Turned out pretty nice changing a lot of the red to black on the interior.
