Man, I just love that color gray. I remember how this car looked while it languished on Craigslist... so glad you got it and did such a wonderful job. Hope and expect to see it in person this summer.

I almost:
1. Got it transferred to my name - but I have to send some mumbo jumbo certified letter to the Prev Owner and have him return it unopened. Argg. CA DMV.
I already have a letter that he sold it to me. Arggg
2. Almost had my muffler installed but Josh the Muffler man was too busy to do it all week. I went to O.C. Muffler and he will install it tomorrow when the muffler arrives. It looks sweet. A DynoMax Super Turbo Muffler
3. My o2 sensor install. Delayed till tomorrow with the muffler. My car is finally drivable.

That silver is sick, and clean look. Seriously makes me think about removing my overriders.

Weather has been crazy good, not looking forward to what is coming though.
Nice cars Dale, wish I wouldn't have been so lazy last summer and I was driving mine.
I did finish blasting all the chasis parts and have them painted and ready to go back on.
Waiting on spring pads from Dean so I can put the front end back together.
Patch panel on one front fender today and will do the other tomorrow.
Finish the body work and pick my colors.

I feel your pain, went through the same problem here with my 61 Vette, I had a bill of sale from the daughter, a death certificate from her father that passed away, a copy of the will indicating the car went to her, and a certified letter from her indicating that they misplaced the title when cleaning out his house. They still made me send a certified letter to her house and told me to tell her not to accept it. Then they filed for a title without all the back up paperwork. Go figure.............

Finished putting it together.. Took it to Kevin D's place to put in the windshield. But by the time I got there I didn't want to put it in.. That was a fun drive with the wind in the face..
