Well it was a 50 / 50 paint job. Look awesome from 50' at 50 MPH. Painted over allot of dings and small dents. the rear quarters were both a tad wavy too from body work over patch panels. I never once thought of it as a restoration. It was built with one thing in mind, plowing, and light cargo useage! most I've had in the bed was 10 front, and rear axles. Mostly 14 bolts,  a couple Dana 44s, and a few Dana 60s.

Poor Honda. Oh well. I could respect ricers if they at least "modded" their cars to be more than huge fart cans with stickers.

I drove a Prelude for years, and for an FF car, it was decent. Got the urge to get a V8 and I will never look back. Plus the gas mileage on the Prelude was terrible, mainly due to the high CR I figure.

Not Chevy stories, but I hope you will find it amusing anyway (if you can understand my "Swenglish" language).  8)

Many years ago I was at the Mc D drive-through. You have to stop at two places, the first to pay, and the second to pick up the food. The arabs in the rice-burner in front of me didn't get close enough to the car in front of them while waiting for their food, they just stayed where they already were, making it impossible for me to get to the cashier to pay. I honked, and they didn't get my message, so I pushed them away with my old Volvo! There were four of them, but they didn't dare to go out and fight! They just stayed in their car while I paid, that's pretty humiliating for them.

At a crossing of a road, the car in front of me didn't see some guy crossing the street at first, so he had to step on the brakes. Since I was second in line I had to do it as well, so the rice-burner after me crashed right into my rear end. My trailer hitch gave him a hole the size of a football in the front, and nothing happened to my Volvo.
