    Been chipping away at it for 13 years now and I finally drove it out of the garage. First time I have sat in the seat and driven it.:D:D:D:D
    We had to get the wife's in the pictures to.
    Now I can drive it onto the trailer and we can start some real body work.

    I was beging to worry for my project is creeping up on three years. But, I guess I'm doing o.k.. Thanks for the confidence builder.
    P.s. Congrats. Always nice when another hunk of old steel hits the road.

    Thanks guys. I's great to have a wife that want to see the project done as much as I do and enjoys cars nearly as much as I do. With that said the wife and house come first.
    Next goal is to be driving it in the Grand Rapids metro cruise this year. I know I could have it road worthy in a week or two but I don't want to throw it together just to drive it on the road.

    First fire-up happened in November but if you can't drive it out of the garage it doesn't mean ****.
    This was my contribution to GREEN DAY, two carbureted gas guzzlers.
    It is a 65 (great year) and Thanks.
     
  8. Congrats. Long time coming but worth the wait from the looks of things.
