In the Beaverton Mall, June 1999

After a new paint job courtesy of a 17 year old and his father's 2 day old Acura, I'm finally ready to hit the crusin' scene again! At my first show I won 1st place in the '74 & newer class. Here is my car in the Beaverton Mall.

My new paint job was done by Finn's Auto FX in Colton, Oregon. They repaired the radiator core, fender, and frame horn damage; stripped the whole body to bare metal to get rid of the factory paint (you know... the stuff that peels); did major body work to my hood to get it as smooth as glass; completely painted the car; and color sanded and polished the paint. It looks even better than this picture in person.
