Thanks, guys! I'm really happy how things are coming along. The car is running wonderfully and now if it just would stop raining for a while! Yesterday was cool and cloudy, and today was nice, but from tomorrow evening until next weekend ( with the exception of Thursday ) EVERY DAY calls for rain! It's depressing!

WOW! Barry - like you predicted your car came back looking better than new. I suggest that you submit it as C3 of the Month for May. (today's my last day Cry

)

Hey Barry.....Really looking good. Thumbs Up

I know it's been a long hard pull, but worth it in the end!! Wink

Can't wait to see it in Effingham.

Just think, Terry is on his way already.

Are we there yet?

I talked to Gordy last Thursday and he has started putting it back together. Assuming he can find all the parts, LOL

this should go fairly fast. All the new parts are here and the bumpers are back from the rechromer. (I decided to bite the bullet and buy new side pipe covers and trim rings. Just coulden't put the 38 year old, road rashed covers and trim rings back on. Oh well, it's only money. My wife is ready to kick me to the curb. Ouch

Not really!! (Not yet anyway.) LOL

I'm a thinken by the end of this week, I should be ready to start staging it for the road trip.

I'll be good to go by the 17th of May. Thumbs Up
