    It's Alive - Again
    « on: May 20, 2011 - 09:40:51 AM »
    Finally - I'm getting back on the street.  The 416 started perfect only to find a nasty header leak - I can't win and a top radiator host that decide to puke everywhere.  Next up the full Hotchkis treatment and after that a complete repaint this winter.  I'm stoked.

    Hey, your wheelbarrow even matches the car.  Looks good!  Too bad I don't have sound on this computer.

    Thanks guys -  Believe it or not.  The paint on my car is from 1984 (27 years ago) and the stripe was done at the Street Machine Nationals (Duquion, IL) in 1988.  It's due.  I have to do it now before my kids hit college!

    Looks good, but  :useless:

    I know how you feel, mine was done in 92 and needs to be redone.

    Yours looks great considering the age of the paint!
