I figured this was the most fitting one. It stays this way most of the time.

None of the locals will think of stealing it, they see it like this too much.

Both pictures were from the previous owner in Florida.

Not much has changed, a $100.00 paint job and a DeWitts Radiator are the things that stick out the most.

I'd forgotten how small that radiator was!

Hey, What is CP Casey like these days? I spent some time there a long time ago. I heard that my old unit moved to CRC,
Anyway, I remember Casey like it was yesterday.

Here is the '74 that I put a deposit on last week. I will be picking it up on Saturday. I thought this thing was in bad shape, but it's not bad compared to some of these posts. Great work guys. Keep saving them.
