Lookie what I came home with a couple of weeks ago! 1972, all rust removed and repaired, professional mother of pearl white paint. new seats, bumpers rechromed, new carpet, new windshield, new this, new that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
http://www.facebook.com/james.d.lane?ref=tn_tnmn I'll have to figure out how to post. Anyway, long story short...a co-worker of mine treated this project as a payit forward and sold me the restored car and the complete but unrestored 76 for a grand total that is about unmentionable on here. I'm excited to be a part of this community. I am anxiously reconnecting all the electrical hardware and prepping the engine and trany to install so I can take her for a maiden voyage!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Best of luck with the new ride. Hopefully, one day, it will be faster than any of those bikes in the corner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) That's funny! My road bike gets going pretty fast when I participate in the annual Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. I think I put the brakes on around 42mpg headed down Coal Bank Pass and Molass Pass. There's only 17lbs between me and the road and those skinny tires. |

I know what you mean. I have hit 55 on my road bike and you start thinking death thoughts at that speed! I have done some mountain biking in Durango. I really like the Hermosa Creek Trail.

I do both mountain and road about equally. They both have their theraputic effects. j |
