Nice work David!

I Drove my 69 Solex B cam for the first time after a 3 year restoration. Carbs need to be dialed in but I really love the howl during acceleration!

Drove my 70 to work...

It was a very long winter!

Started cutting off driver's side quarter panel, always the nerve-wrecking part.

Nice and shiny :D looking good. I think the side molding really sets off the car. I've been hammering on mine when I get bored with body work, tedious. ..mike
