Well, another chapter of my life closed today. . . This was my 3rd Six, and the nicest. . Doing the restoration was my enjoyment, and showing it for the past 8 years was somewhat fun, but it was just too nice to drive. . . I created a monster and the only way out was to let it go and maybe start over. . .
Can't say enough good things about this site and the members who have a reputation of helping each other out, Luke managed to find a couple of the harder Six parts when I was doing the restoration. . I'll be looking for a GT project on the "Cars for Sale" page, something i can drive and have fun with. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Hi Dave, I do not 'know you' per se, but 'of' you through that car and our mutual friend Jim K. He claimed the car was a dog until he helped you prep for Concours! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Not so! He - with direct help from you and your fanatical eye for detail - has helped me with advice on bringing my own -6 back up to standard. So thank you both. I completely understand the motivation to dismiss a car because it's too nice. They just seem to cross this invisible line from the worthy pursuit of improvement to some unusable state thereof. Did that with an E Type Jaguar a couple years back and am trying not to cross that line again. (But since it's invisible its hard to spot!) Hoping the new owner will carry the torch of respectful appreciation of your fine work. And yes, also hoping that includes driving it! Congratulations on having done the hobby proud, and making the rest of us feel slightly less OCD as a result. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Best to you on your next pursuit. |
