    Congrats on the purchase. Nice color combo. If it were me, I'd keep those wheels in case you wanted to go back stock.

    Wow. That was right near me. How come I didn't know about it. How did you get it back to Florida? Drive or ship?

    Awesome car man. Now get some wheels and tires, swap out the steering wheel and throw in some buckets. Instant cruizer.

    Oh ya, remove the front license plate.
