Since this was the big thread for 2016 and I rarely read or contribute to anything not pickup or RV related, I want the thank those who brought this thread more attention.

Helluva job, Bill!

I remember 1979 pretty well as I was a junior in college. So the muscle car era isn't filtered for me by the flamekeepers. Hell, the cop cars were faster. And had bigger gas tanks.

That car was an I can't believe my wife let me keep it rust bucket. The pics aren't kidding. We all walked past cars like these in the junkyards. Convertibles are nearly always a disaster. Couldn't give them away once upon a time. 1 of 300 wouldn't matter.

This second life is a beautiful fate. And I like that the nose will be lengthened. Short rear deck and long hood is very 1960s. As my old man used to say, "No story is so good that a coat of varnish won't help".

In this instance of Christian re-birth, the sins of the old are washed away, and the heart of a true (car) believer is revealed.

Fidelity, my man. You've got it.
