Would have loved to work on it with you. You don't often get a chance these days to tear one of those pre-computer machines down. |

Pretty nice car !
Remember a time when cars used to interest me, but after 30 + years of working on them, I look at them as just that, WORK !
I must be getting old !

Ya know Ronnie it relaxes me, I can see your point I drive a 2005 F150 and I would never work on the engine. But 1970 now were talking, No crap in the way the 1971 or 72 model added an air pump and so it went. I use no air tools I call it anger management..  |

I used to do 1 or 2 major restorations a year for customers.
Been a while since I wanted to do one.
It's definitely a labor of love because you can never get the $ out of the job that it's worth. |

I do love it, When its your own ride you care more about the little stuff. Every clip bracket and assorted hadware has been cleaned sanded and repainted, I had a guy say to me why change all the pushrods only a few are bad. Well cause its mine and I dont want to do it again..
