I finally got her on the road
« on: July 16, 2011, 05:30:02 PM »
After a long road restoring my convertible, I got to take her out on on her first road test today.



I've still got a lot of small details to finish, but I wanted to give a big thanks to Charles Turner, Jeff Speegle, and all the other people on this board who have helped me bring this car to the level of restoration that I was hoping for.  I would never have gotten her on the road without the help of this forum, so thanks again.

By the way, they sure get dirty under the hood from just one 20 minute drive.

The car looks fantastic, you should be proud of your work. I hope to be there soon myself , I plan on being done by Memorial Day, just don't know what year.

I had planned on being finished Labor Day 2008.  You see how that turned out.
