Very cool. We got the brakes straightened out and the windows rolling up and down. Pressure washed the whole thing. Next week we put some Vredesteins on it and get it running a bit better. Tom will get a project page up on it right after the holidays.
Tim asks: "What are your thoughts?"
In no particular order:
- Would Tim and Margie adopt me? I know they're only about 2 years older than me, but so what?
- Suddard Christmas will replace Merry Christmas as my new holiday greeting.
- I'm stoked to read about the fintail, as I've recently developed a pretty strong lust for the W108/109 cars (the last stacked-headlight 280 and 300 SE and SEL, '71 - '72)
So far this one has been a blast to work on. They are very simple and very well built. Damned thing drives surprisingly well too.
Although the Shelby is slightly faster.
Oh, and Patrick, two kids is enough for anyone, sorry.
