Re: 69 Custom 30 wrecker restoration

Thanks guys!

I have it insured with Hagerty. This is the fifth one I have on with them now.

So, I got to take it on it's maiden voyage yesterday when the sun broke out. A few small quirks to work out but I put 50 miles on it and didn't have to call a tow truck to get home! (wouldn't that be the ultimate embarrasment?)

It sure rides like a commercial truck. It has the big truck bounce that reminds me of the large box truck I rented to bring my car lift home. (but cool anyway!) I love the whine going through the gears too!

Runs and drives really good. I did get a few odd looks though. LOL

A few small adjustments to make and maybe I'll go visiting the place I got it and the original owner next week.
