    One or the other Ryan. Overhead with standard interior, sail panel lights with deluxe interior. Never both.

    Thanks Brad, Thats what I kind of figured but wanted to confirm it. I do like that my car has both for the extra light in the interior. Just one more custom thing about my car lol.

    Interesting...I swear I had both in my interior when I took it apart. I know and found the sail panel lights and wiring in a box. But I guess I need to determine if the dome light was from my car or if I bought it off ebay or pulled it from a junk yard. Need to search my pictures from when I took the interior apart from 2008. To the archives. :)

    @Ryans-GSX I just bought all LED's for my dash lights just haven't installed them yet. Been doing a lot of researching. I'm looking for the ones that put out less lumens so they are hopefully not laser lights in the eyes. We'll see. Still lots to install. Carburetor just arrived, so I have that to do too :)

    My car seems to get put on a lot of facebook pages. I like the fact that others enjoy seeing it as much as I do.

    I would like to say a very special thank you to John Kazmierczak. With all that has been going on with my car I have taken the time to thank many members and friends but I dont believe I have ever took the time to tell John how much I appreciate him posting about this car and sharing the lead about it. Without his help I would never have found this car in the first place.

    Thank you very much John Kazmierczak !!!! (JohnKaz)

    Yes it is. Talked to Ryan a few weeks back and in the course of conversation inevitably wound up talking about this car amongst other things. I don't think Ryan can adequately explain in posts how much attention this car gets out in the wild.

    I bet so. There is a GS on Craigslist out here that looks pretty beat. It has rear wheel flares on it. Reminded me of Ryan's.

    Bell bottoms era.....
    My buddy Artie (Ardvark), his real name was Bob, had a 69 Chevelle that was painted with heavy graphics over the entire car.
    Wish I had a pic of it.
    He was the dope dealer everyone knew back in the late 60's early 70's.:D
    Pretty much like Ryan's car /paint only darker blue.

    I LOVE early heavy graphics cars. I was involved in the lowrider scene because of our car stereo shop. So many cars with unreal deep paint out there.

    Ryan's car is so sick perfect. Right down to Being a Buick. The colors used. The work done. The fact that it was once customed different the first time around. Beautiful job done. One of a kind for sure. Globally. Great story. Great home. Nice Hustle to get it.

    Finally going to get the station wagon spring and coil over shocks out of the back. I’m ready for a better ride. Latter Bars will be painted or powder coated. Lastly the 4:56 gears are coming out and 3:31 gears going in

    my blood pressure was not good during that drive. That trip showed me how great a job Dave Tumas did on my motor. That engine was screaming going down the highway.
