Default Been a while

After letting my 62 sit for the last 10 years , while raising kids , rebuilding 4 houses . work and general life .I decided to try to fire it up . A new battery , new gas and I was happy , It fired right up . I was afraid that the carb would be all gummed up . Giving the whole car a once over . My 9 year old is wanting me to take him to his first day of school in it .

My last post was in 2005

Sounds like you're about to cause a riot at your son's grade school.

It is special for you that you saved the car all these years. Get the kids to photo the smile on your face behind the wheel again.
