Looks like a good day for a cruise, eh?

I'm getting mine out of storage this weekend. Hope the weather is as good as they say it will be.

Washed it Saturday, Pulled wheels and checked everything over. Put a fresh coat of Zaino.

Sunday just had to take it for a ride. Beautiful although the pavement is cold but fun. Lots of wheel spin.

Beautiful day for a cruise.

Now the work will start (but I love it) as I change fluids and detail the car.

I finally got mine to start on Saturday after about a month of sitting. Had carb problems again. I almost forgot how to dirve her. So much torque, it's scary. But I'll get accustomed to it.

My 17yr old daughter and some of her boy friends stopped over while I was tinkering. You shoulda seen the guys faces when I was reving the engine.
