    Late Xmas 68S Softie

    It was a long time coming, but Rick Cabell makes the wait well worth it Bahama Yellow, amazing car, took Rick over 6 years to make it happen. Oh my was it worth it. Freeman took one look at it and said he HAD to have it. He said he will bug me the rest of my life The car is stunning, as Jens said, a Rock Star. Rick, you are the MAN

    A Good Home

    I think the 68S Softie found a good home Jeff and Rick, the
    DOKA does like 9 & 11 x 19's, they fit perfect. Just need to adjust the camber a little.

    Eade,

    Your new softie is just sensational !!
    Time warping at its best.
    However,can you let us know the significance of the toilet rolls under the motor before unloading the car ?
    Also,please let me know if you need help with excercising any of the fleet !

    Cheers,
    Dennis.

    Yup, it took a lot of convincing and dozens of photographs of Bahama Yellow creampuff cars, but I swear it looks even better in the California sun! Is that even possible? The car is going to look even better with Sherry driving.

    Nice place too. Holy crapski!!

    ps. the lighted sign is kind of small.
