Congrats Tom!

What's next for it? Any repairs / updates planned, or will you just be making up for 25 years of not driving it?

Good to know another side curtain car is back roaming the streets.
Enjoy! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
Next is finish the sheetmetal restoration , then suspension then interior. plenty of work left to do but progress is measurable. I hope to have it on the road this spring. cheers
 
You mean Jimmy Carter isn't still President? Let's see -- problems in the Middle East, Americans not supporting the administration, interest rates rising to stem inflation, oil/gas a concern, The Rolling Stones on tour. and GM, Ford and Chrysler in trouble because they're producing big gas guzzlers with lots of build quality issues when the market really wants high-quality fuel sippers.

Glad to hear the car is running again. It's amazing how robust these stinkers are!!!
