    It's official..SHE'S BACK!

    After about a little over 2 1/2 years since my wreck,I can finally say that all the work I did to her with the help of my best friend Steve and the encouragement I've received from both him and forum members, she's finally back on the road! Now I can go do all the stuff I've missed out on like finally being able to go to a bash, maybe getting on the MS calendar, car shows/cruise, time for a girlfriend too,and the overall fun of enjoying the car for once.She has certainly been a real job, but in the end,nothing can beat the satisfaction these beauties give you back and all the lessons you learn from them.


    P.s. - got my speakers hooked up today and when driving it, I was listening to Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" song..DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!!

    Looks really good, Ramses.  I am looking forward to seeing it "in person" next year.  You should be proud.  You did a very nice job there.

    Awesome job, definitely a car to be proud of.

    Congrats

    The amount of fun is directly proportionate to the damage done.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Great job Ramses, rebuilds plus two paint jobs and mine has yet to roll out of the garage on it's own wheels! Shame on me. Goes to show what mind set and perseverance will reward you! Red really sets those mags off too!

    That looks great!

    I'm going to be greedy and ask that you post a whole bunch of pictures and give me the specs of everything you have done on the car and what you have under the hood.  I'm interested.

    Again, it looks great.
