    Hey all! Just picked this up. And ill have questions! Is a blast to drive. I got rid of a race car for this because im having my first kid, son, and I thought it would be a fun family hot rod.

    Welcome aboard GreenHornet. That looks like a neat car. Hot Rods and cruisers are more fun than race cars anyway. You can drive em when ever the mood strikes.
    I hope you and your family enjoy this car to it's fullest.

    Congratulations with your new baby boy. I can see how this will be a fun family hauler.

    :Welcome:That's a real beauty and it's sorta red! :wave:Welcome. There are so many mini vans and compact cars around now I'm sure adding a seat in back with a car seat and seat belts will be no problem. Possibly your laws may force you to put the little guy up front, say in the driver seat maybe!

    There are tons of 3rd row seats for sale on Craigslist for cheap. Wouldn't be hard to fit a set in.

    Welcome aboard! What a cool lookin' courier... I absolutely love it. I've always had a soft spot for sedan deliveries, panel trucks, and wagons, of course.
    Have fun with it. :thumbs2:

    I also noticed the HHR panel. Is that one yours too?
