Fantastic job TC....

-- Rob

I saw this car several years ago before TC bought it. I thought it was a lost cause. Good to see it coming back to life.

Wow! Great job!

Looking good.

TC, now I really feel bad for not having cleaned the shifter!
Speaking of the Rennshift, did you receive it in good shape? FedEx says it was left at your door today.

I really admire the work you've done on this car and will anxiously follow your progress. She's going to be one hell of a car!

TC

You are a good man to take on this project. I can't wait til the day we go for drive!!

Brian

19,000 miles driven thru a SALT SPRAY BOOTH.


Fabulous job....can't wait to see the end.....but no hurry.

What is the Date/GOAL for completion?

The Paint shop has told me I will have the car back in Febuary. Then I can start putting her back together.

T.C.

So if they told you February does that mean you should be ready around April?

Can't wait to see how it comes out T.C.

February 2010.

Thanks for your support

Update pictures from today. Not a lot of work in the last 2 weeks, as there was Christmas and alot of improvements in the shop, ie new lifts.
