Woot! Woot! Won't be long before she's on the road!

Well, we were quite busy this week. Found out I had to move the car from it's location, so we got her put together and we got her home! Got tags and insurance. Got new 205/70 tires on her. got her fired up, and drove her home! So now she sits in our driveway where she belongs. Not really roadworthy yet, but soon....soon.

Sittin in front of Josh's shop before the drive home.

Think it needs a little air in the rear shocks, yes?

Sittin comfortably at home now.

Nice progress Bill. Just returned from a long surf trip and getting back to work on the '27 Tomorrow. -DT

Thanks, Tom. Drove her to the Advance cruzin yesterday. Did ok, 'cept the linkage started acting up and wouldn't go into park. Had to leave it in neutral with the parkbrake on. So that's sumthin else to go over. But she was a big hit and the oldest ride there.

Wanna see some pics of your '27 project soon, Tom!!!

Nice lines on that car Bill. Always liked the proportions of older muscle cars. The new versions look reminiscent of the original pony cars. Have you seen any of the new Boss 302 Mustangs? Maybe Ford should resurect the Torino ! -DT

Thanks, Di! Here's a clip I made the other evening of her fired up. Not great quality, but you can still see and hear her.
