wow, 4:86, thats a steep gear. it had a 4:10 race gear in it when i sold it. if you are going to spray it, she probably wont like the gear. i had a 4:56 ger in it, then went to a 4:10, and it was like a different car. was going to go to a 3:90 gear, but thats when the Mayo thing came about. The color is off of a 92 Chevy truck. Brillant Blue Metallic, some paint books call it Bahamma Blue. Thanks for taking care of her! I bought it in 89 as a stock SS Nova that should have been totaled along time ago. Car had been hit so hard, that it buckled the roof. When they pulled the driver side A pillar, they pulled to far, thus making the roof cave in. They hid this problem with a cheap vinyl top. I didnt know all this until i started taking her apart. Make a long story short, she spent several months at the body shop to make her slick again. She had some battle scars on her when i sold it, not sure if Brian had them fixed. Every winter i would take it back to the body shop and have all the body panels re-aligned ( wheelies played havic on keeping them straight ) and have it touched up for the following year. I originally built the car for show, but met up with Rick Dyer in 1992, Cars. Inc and Rick was my first big sponser, and it all went down hill from there!
