WOW! Very cool story. You are one of the few that follows through with the "Some day I'm gonna fix that old Vette up" statement. lol
It looks like you are into motorcycles as well. Can we see a peek?

It'll be forty years for me next year. I didn't have to do nearly that much to mine but it still took a year and a half before I could drive it. Can't beat the satisfaction that comes with all of it.

Thanks to all for the nice compliments. This picture should be filed under LOL. It was sent to me by my son with the message "Once a trailer queen, always a trailer queen." This car is far from that. But he did make me laugh.
