Ronnie,
I live in Snellville and a friend of mine from Sunday School years ago (Ken Weilbrenner) used to have the shop next door to yours (Southern Automotive).

I can't wait to get started on my 61 rust bucket that I recently bought from a friend in Grayson!

You have inspired me but also have sobered me to the fact that it's going to take a lot of work and probably more years than it took you!

Take care!
Tony
Thanks, come by and see us some time.

Wow, that's a nice-sized shop! Is that '69 Firebird convertible a real T/A? If so, that is RARE Bird! I think they made 8 total, if I recall.

The truck looks great, and the wheel choice is excellent. I like the brushed finish on the wheels.

Hope to start it up next week
