Well, the car is back home! Brought it home yesterday evening but could not get any pictures because of impending rain (for the next 4 or 5 days!). Only found two small problems. The passenger's side mirror seems to be at too much of an angle, I'm thinking the gasket under it is installed wrong. Also, the radio loses its memory after the key is off. Anyway, I spoke to Lew and he's going to take care of both problems as soon as I can get it over there (CAN WE JUST HAVE ONE DAY WITHOUT RAIN!!!!!). The car really looks beautiful and under the hood is awesome also. Like I said, pictures will come as soon as no rain (at least it's not snow).

Yep Rich that was going to be my question as well. Where is it parked at? I bet moms car is temporarily outside for the next few weeks. Cant wait to see pics. Congrats on getting it home, now all you have to do is decide if your going to ever drive it again or just look at it! You just hate to risk that first ooppps.

Actually it IS outside and covered. It's actually been so long since the actual paint was done that Lew said it would be NO problem covering it. He's already assured me that ANY problem withj the paint (except accidents, of course) will be taken care of at no charge! He really stands behind his work! As far as driving it, it'll probably be back next week because Hank is taking his back in for some more work so we'll probably just run them both over at the same time and come home in mine! Sorry for the long post!
