I was picturing it in my head from the 1st Cal-look Book without.  But my head's not always to be trusted.

I liked it as it was afterall the paint job had been around a few years but the new paint definitely adds something to it. It's going to look as great running 12.40s as it will parked outside Hooters.

Yes yes, late Dave do what HE want, ok, but why in Pink color !!

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Dave did not respray the car in Pink. Rather, he had the seats reupholstered in Pink, to match his nail polish.

Just joking with you Dave.
