That right Bud, Only time it wasn't like that is when the showroom door opened. Then he drove it down the street to the speed shop! I can see you guys are going to keep BBBenny straight! Its tough though.

Hey Darren, Benny told me he is willing to use some of my vintage decals on his quarter windows just like 1970. Says he wants to make this nova look like a legit B/Stocker in its racing days. I know Pete is building him a semi killer motor so look out the Lehighton Flash is coming 4 speed and all!

You forgot one of the major do nots:

Excellent lists otherwise.

Reading the lists of "do nots" reminded me of the 1970's and 1980's, when you saw some really cool musclecars, but the owner thought it was a good idea to install a sunroof!
