thanks guys!

apologies for neglecting to update for so long...

the car is running fantastic.
i get it out for a spin on the weekends, or any time the weather is nice after work. sometimes i'll pick up my mom (shown in photograph) and sister and we'll drive out to hot licks for ice cream and reminisce about my father and the memories we have of being together with the car.
there's a local car club in town that i cruise with sometimes on wednesday evenings. i've already met a lot of cool people. at one of the events i met a fella who tried to buy the car from my mom right after my father passed away. he told me that ever since then he had always wondered what happened to that old goat!

there are some persistent problems that will require troubleshooting and tinkering, but despite that small handful of issues still hanging around i have over 1800 miles on it since the restoration.
often times while driving it now i reflect on all the different people who played a part in transforming that old rust bucket in to what it is today.
it is with sincere appreciation and heartfelt gratitude that i say thank you once again to each and every one of you that provided advice or otherwise inspired me along the way. nowhere else on the internet is there a community of car enthusiasts like the one here. i've said it before and i'll say it again: i could never have pulled it off without the support and guidance i received from the members of this network. Roger, i'll never forget our first conversation and how some of the pieces of wisdom you shared with me completely changed the way i had to think about approaching the project.
thanks also to the mods and all other support staff for keeping this site up and running.
i've probably only got another couple weeks to enjoy driving the car before putting it away for winter, but i'll try to update again soon- at the very least more often than once every two years.
thanks again for your interest in this project.
