Finally finished earlier tonight.
fantastic resto, very interesting piece about powder coated wheels and LOOSE WHEEL NUTS. Enough anecdotal evidence there to be careful....

Kempe's? yeah i've just finished that thread. In all honesty, his balls must drag as he walks coz god knows he has a set.

I love the dedication, anyone who takes a failed project and gives it life again gets a gold star from me.

Just finished reading the Kempes restoration.

WOW, as good as Moler's bus, but in a different way, and going back to where it was found - under own power - double wow.

How hot is a pre rear window panel, my goodness. I think I just found another ACVW to challenge my OVAL window desire.

I mean look at this sexy behind: Image

Loving it! :hangloose:
