Hello... new project here.. saved 69

Post by BDUB »

Hello fellow roadster fans,

I've been holding on to this 69 for a year and a half, and finally after moving in to my home last year and juggling many projects, I've started breaking the car down. This 2000 was on its way to being "street rodded" in it's current, dinged up and rusty form. When I saw it for sale, I knew it was the perfect fit for me and my wife. She's always wanted a convertible, and I love project cars, plus I didn't feel like buying another car and would never be able to have the satisfaction I'll have when this is done. Interestingly, the car came with lots of original paperwork and a trail back to the original owner. (I'll pull that out and post more of the story later).

So there's the short of it. I just wanted to say hey and introduce you guys to my project. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you. I know I'll need the support of this group who from what I've seen is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Here she is!

More to come soon...

Duff Me.. Both the car and myself are here in Maryland. Hopefully there are some roadsters people around this area.
