I finally did it...

The solids DO look really sharp, but IMO the white HT really make the partial white interior "pop". But, first things first - I may need a new set of tires in the near future, so I'm going to go with the 235 55 R17 wide white walls from Cobra.
But as always, thanks for all the suggestions and support.

I have a way to try that without any painting.

Are we missing something on the tires, Ron?

or are you forgetting that Jim's first Inca had a white hardtop and partial white interior?

or are you looking at trading cars or hardtops?

This might give you an idea on a Whisper White.

I'd call it "Cream 'n' Sugar"

Wide Whites.... well done, Jim. I’’ve used this simile before - you must be smiling like a Cheshire Cat!!!

The current IG hardtop has five small chips in the back bottom trim. It looks like the owner, when putting it on his dolly, chipped it - that's the problem I ran into with the dolly is if you didn't accurately aim for the padded portion of the dolly, that bottom trim would chip on the unprotected legs of the dolly. I'm simply going to get some touch-up paint to fix it.
That IG hardtop on the WW does look cool...very retro.

You nailed it, Mark!

Jim,
Very nice Inca Gold. I like the white partial interior.

I'd like to have it white, but simply due to finances, that will probably be one of the last things I'll do. We don't have deep pockets like many folks, so we take it one issue at a time.

I like the "deep pockets" reference. It made me think of my neighbor Sam Liberman. He told me once, when I said my wife and I were contribution counters at our church, that the counters at his temple weren't allowed to have pockets. I had a good laugh. I asked him how it worked at Beth Shalom Beth Israel where he belonged. He said each year they tell him what he needs to pay to cover his portion of the annual expenses, and I asked how do they keep their membership with that requirement? He said they own a cemetery and if you are a member of the congregation you have a place where you can be buried and have a granite marker and it is only available to members of the congregation.

Reminds me a little of our first IG...this snap was taken in June 2006 (wide WW's make a huge difference):

That's a great story, Cal. If it's okay with you, I'm going to copy/post that under the "All Things Jewish" thread.

Jim,
I don't see the V8 badge on the front fender.

here I go nitpicking again.

2005s don't have the V8 badges, only 04s. And all IGs are 2005 models. Trivia but vital if you want to be a "smart a**" like me. :-D

For clarification all 2003's and 2004's have the V/8 on the fenders.
