: Almost Finished
704EVER Aug 4th, 09, 8:01 PM We thought we'd be done last week but a few more changes (TCS) and waiting on few forgotten parts held us up a little. We finally got it outside for a quick clean up and test ride. The car runs great, no set backs or disappointments. We may hit our first car show Friday night, weather permitting.
bikeron Aug 4th, 09, 8:04 PM Super nice!
Congrats!

buddyv Aug 4th, 09, 8:13 PM 704ever, Your car is stunning!!!! Best of all; the car looks like you just came home from the dealer late 69, or 70. WOW!!!!
704EVER Aug 4th, 09, 8:23 PM Thanks guys. PS, I hope this is OK to mention here but for those of you that know Steve Hackel well, his Dad passed last week and maybe some of you that know him personnaly could drop him a note. I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated. Steve has done some great work for a lot of us here and I'm sure it's not an easy time for him. Support through friendship is a great healer.
RoyalPlum67SS Aug 4th, 09, 8:26 PM Looks great Mike :thumbsup:. You and your buddy should bring it up to Cleveland this weekend and show it off :D.

Thank you, but notice I said we. This is my friends' car that he recently bought. I'm just helping him spend more money than he wanted to and doing most of the work but I enjoy this type of stuff in 100 degree heat!!:clonk:

Cleveland!!! I'm thinking more like my regular Friday night haunt, Tower Shops in Davie!!! It's right around the corner with your pick of 4 air conditioned bars!!!!:beers:
JNorton Aug 4th, 09, 8:38 PM OUCH! That thing is sharp! I love that color combo, too.
70ChevelleRagtop Aug 4th, 09, 8:40 PM That looks a lot like the old L78 that I owned back in the 80's (except this one is much nicer!) :thumbsup:

Yes indeed, my money says it won't! There's a big difference in a frame on and frame off, my own checkbook is proof of that!!:thumbsup:
Very nice Mike :cool:, helping a buddy out is what it's all about :yes: good karma for you. :thumbsup: Sorry to hear about his father. :(

This time if you find the car and I'm not there at that split second, hang around for a bit or come back later. If the car is there, I'll be there!!!:beers:

John, it was Steve Hackels' dad, not the owners. Steve does a lot of restorations on wiper motors and he's done quite few for TC members. He's pretty well known here.
