Thanks...I'd much rather a 4sp manual myself ...but clean 30+ year old cars are hard enough to find....

yours looks nice...I've been sorta looking at the stainless side pipes for mine...even though the exhaust on mine is very nice....

I worked on the Stingray system some today....and all I have to say is prepare for a major project when changing the deck and upper dash speakers....

I started by ripping out the interior....notice the factory amp in the upper right corner....hitech stuff of the 70's......

So I proceeded to replace the missing surround speaker in the stock location.....

Bracket cut and modified for the new 4x6's ...I used a diamond cutting wheel on my dremal tool.....

I hope to get the deck installed today...this is a very hard decision on which deck....It is a tossup between my Kenwood EZ500....my JVC NX5000 or my old school SONY hard drive deck a MEX HD1 or is it 1HD ...I forget...I'm leaning towards those 3 because of the retro impression of having knobs....
