Default Best Day Ever!!!!

Today has been the best day ever.
First, I got to sleep in until 10:30.
Then went to a graduation party in this:


Then the wife and I went for a ride on these:



Now I'm headed out to the garage to work on this:



Doesn't get much better than that.
Hope everyone else is having a great weekend.

woke up to sunshine after what seemed an eternity of rain...went out cruising in the 73, came home changed oil in the drivers and cut grass.
Washed the 73, glazed it then took the wife out for a nice couple of hrs cruise into the sunset with the T-Tops off

It is driveable. I changed the oil and greased it. The thing has like 20 grease fittings.

I'm working on pulling the wheels off to check the brakes and make sure that nothing is leaking. And I've got to find the master cylinder. Have no idea where that thing is.

Also, someone sprayed a ton of undercoating on the undercarriage. I'm going to scrape that off and paint with Chassis Saver paint.
