One Year Ago Today

On Saturday July 9th, 2011 she awoke from her 25 year slumber... One of the sweetest sounds I have ever heard... Things have not gone exactly as I envisioned them since then, but what ever does? The goal at this point is to finally be driving this dream for the first time before cold weather arrives. We're so close! Figured I'd share the video of the magic moment...

Thanks to everyone here for all the great pics and inspiration! This rank restoration amateur sure appreciates it!

Re: One Year Ago Today

Thanks! Since we got it running there are new rear seals, some new brake line, rebuilt master cylinder, new wheel cylinders and a little re-wiring to get the turn signals, brake lights and horn working. Just need all the front bearings and new drums all the way around and we'll be ready to roll. But I've been in a holding pattern for a while because I don't have the money. Hopefully that will change before too long...
