opinion time...Been helping my ex's dad restore a 65 gto for the better part of 20 years. We are finally down to putting the guts in it. Car was originally full red interior. During the body resto, he had a ivory headliner put in it. Car is tor red w a red dash/console and all the painted interior is red. So, here are the options...

Full red interior w a white headliner yuk personally
red carpet/door panels white seats
red carpet white door panels and seats
black carpet white door panels and seats
or the circus version black carpet red door panels white seats

Really want to finish this next summer. Even if i have to dump my own money into it. Still needs exhaust and bumpers as well. and wheels/tires and and and yeesh

Not much new to post about. Life has been busy with trail work and kid stuff. WikiD has been busy with LARS shows and practicing at AWWG. He also scored a job at Gamers and starts Friday. Crash is starting at Goodwill soon as well. Can't believe how hard it is to get a part time job in this town. I've been shot down for quite a few seasonal jobs. Guess i shouldn't have given the kids so much grief about not being able to get a job. Hopefully with them working, i won't have to do the night job thing.

I guess i'm in with the big bro with the knee problems. Might aren't near as severe as his but it still sucks. Been fighting with the left one for awhile, doc told me to sell the single speeds and learn how to spin. He said that should get me a few more years. Now the right one is swollen and clicking. That one has been perfect sense the last overhaul, don't even know what i did. Doc said to give it a week and come in if it still hurts.

So, the singles need to go, along with a few others...

17" Redline monocog 26" ss. 27.5"/650b wheels, X-fusion Velvet fork, pacenti quasi-motos, raceface headset, crankset, seatpost, carbon bars and stem, avid bb7's, handspun wheels with surly ss hubs. Spec ti railed seat and pedals are negotiable. maybe 30 miles on this bike sense built from all new parts... $1500 obo

56cm Redline 925 ss/fixie. Black to charcoal fade, planet bike fenders, rear rack, headlight and blinky taillight, computer, goofy hipster bars. Love this bike, it has been an awesome commuter. Again cb pedals are negotiable... $425 obo

Redline Pro Flight XL Bubba Harris Sig Series bmx'er. Mostly stock. Have a pile of sprockets for it as well as an answer carbon full face helmet, pants and vans spd shoes. Have flat and spd pedals for it. Ridden 3 times at most... $250 obo

Mirra Co Shorty bmx'er. All stock, flat pedals. Perfect for the shorter kid getting started. $125 obo

Gary Fisher Tarpon. Think it is a 14". Sublime green, comes with short 60mm stem and stock stem. Great starter bike to take on the trails. $150 obo

Think that's it. Gotta get everything cleaned up and put on craigslist. Then to ebay if nothing moves. Really wrong time of the year to do this...
