'been sitting on an interstate that I picked up summer '25 - added a parts IS to the stable fall '25 - been waiting for someone to buy my F6B prior to starting the new project - F6B is gone/gone/gone! - Ultimate seat set is in, 6 into 6 ar

e on their way, set of Avon Cobras and brake pads are on the shelf waiting for install - a very very generous DragonRdr "GAVE" me his tail light and wiring harness that he had picked up for his super valk conv that didn't happen (thanks again :) )

Let the fun begin - still a few more yard duties to finish before I start turning wrenches, but looking forward to the build - 'had an IS about 12 years ago that I should've kept and am now coming full circle ;)

Good luck on the project.  That one looks exactly like our old Interstate minus the cup holder.  I had a Michelin car tire on the rear.

Always thought that was a great color combo, good luck with the transformation I hope it goes easy and comes out how you want it to.

 :cooldude:  That is one of my favorite color combinations! I wish I would have kept mine, never saw its twin either. The world renowned Big BF did my work so I applaud your efforts. Here was my Black Mamba  :smitten:

They (6to6) are admittedly overpriced - but brand spankin' new is soooooo satisfying - especially as this will likely be my last build

Can't wait till I hit the end of the friggin honey do's and get to start wrenching ;)
