OT, but is that Carmine Red? My brother in law had a '74 in Carmine from new, kept almost 25 years, it did NOT look that nice. I really like those Minilite-ish wheels. Alas, my Tiger also sits on a lift, my wife parks her Honda S2000 under it (yes, drip trays!)

Anyway, hopefully no tornado here in MD today (there's a watch), and I can get back to grilling! Chest freezer is overflowing, need to select something.
Yes Carmine red/new tan interior. It spent most of it's life in Houston, It made it out a year before the big floods there. I have redone the entire suspension, carpet and under carriage. My poor 81 corvette sits under it and sometimes gets a drip here and there....another car I barely drive.

Thank goodness for overhead storage! Mine usually has my unfinished 73 Ford Mustang on it! Back the farm truck in under it.

While we're on this subject, I feel I should mention this (below) to those who have never heard this before:

You should not set your Charcoal Chimney Starter on Concrete to light it.
The High Heat has been known to cause the Concrete to Explode!!

You may have just saved my life. I've been doing that for a while.
