Roadster PR with the Eastwood Company

Post by S Allen »

I sent in some pictures and a write-up of the restoration of my 67.5 a few years back to the Eastwood Company. They were having a contest. I did not win but several weeks ago they contacted me and asked if they could use my car in some advertising. I said sure go ahead. Any way, here is a link to my car as well as a bunch of others. Don Morrell's (Rising Sun Racing)1967.5 2 liter is up there as well.

Every little bit of PR helps.

Wow! Very nice. What's also interesting is that there isn't a link to your restoration anywhere on this site. :shock:

Seems to me like a good candidate for "Intersting Links" or maybe create a "Restoration Links" for sites like yours, Mark Sedlack, and Leigh Brooks (just to name a few).

Pete,

I did have it up there for a long time but took it down a year or so ago. I could always add it back. I just thought people were tired of looking at it. :lol:

Can't speak for others, but I am continually reviewing pics as I learn about my Roadster.

Maybe all that stuff will be burned into my mind once I've done a frame-off resto and can recite part numbers from memory (like my Harley-Davidson rebuild a million years ago!), but until then....

That said, I now know where to find it. Thanks.
Pete

Thanks for posting the link!

I find that I have to dig for pictures every time I move on to a new part. Where does that hose/wire/etc. go again?

Nice to see other people's work and ideas.
