LOL I wish I had a 32" inseam. I'm up in 36" range. I had to build brakets to move my Camaro seat back and gonna use a steering wheel with a flat bottom. BTW all the gassers in that link are exactly the car I want.

I like everything about the Aces High '55, except the wide whites. I wouldn't care if every gasser had them in the '60's, I still wouldn't run them myself. I think they're fugley!

Not if you drive it in Oregon! Oregon doesn't allow red, yellow, green, etc. Only smoke color in Oregon. Checked into it for my gasser, and found the regs.

Yeah it sucks! I wondered why so many guys in other states had yellow, red, or blue window tint, but never saw it here. Did a search for tint regs in Oregon and found out why.
Here's the tint law. I was wrong about blue, it's not listed on there, so blue is OK, but I don't want to look through blue windows forever.

Hey are you going to the Burgerville cruise in Hillsboro this Sat. night? 4:00pm to dark.

Not sure if you or your grandad have this link, but it's a great local site for all the car stuff happening around Portland and Oregon:
