I hope you don't take a buffer to it like was suggested. Atleast maybe check what the paint thickness is before doing that, if you did. Great looking car.

No Wide Ovals for now. </div></div>

At least put fresh radials on it. Tires that are 10+ years old are dangerous of you really want to drive it - especially if you want to use the M22 like it was intended to be used. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

It's going to get new radials before I do much more driving. Just could not resist taking it out today. Those tires are probably closer to 30 years old.

Tell folks who look inside the car &quot;The interior is original, just the dirt is new&quot;.
That's what I say about my car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

I second that.
A nice survivor like this needs &quot;survivor style&quot; tires.

My Vote is for the Goodyear Poly Glass Tires,
A car like this deserves them.
Glad to see you got that car back.
