Ritchie, you put the top back on the car & running with it? Afraid of the rain, sky looks a little dark... Or maybe it's for the sun Wink

I'm guessing more for full street trim (note bumpers and front numberplate too!) than to stop the sunburn!

Went to the top of Glacier point today and looking down to the valley my money is definitely on the rocks and not the tents.  Shocked

what year is that pic? I'm guessing 1992 (still had the small header on it.... when I re-did the motor for Jerry it had the 2-1/8" stepped header from R & R). If that is fall of 1992 (and I think it is), that is same race where Schwimmer brought and raced the '59 rag at. And same race that I drove my '67 to, ran 13's all day, then drove home with split trans.
