Back On The Road
After what seems to have been an eternity we have the Red 77 done now and back on the road...
Short video of my son taking her out for the first of three road tests.
I hope you enjoy it.
Cheeers.

That's awesome. 
It felt great getting my '77 back on the road after a year or so down time in the garage.
It's funny when it goes in for two new calipers...a weekend job, and it ends up getting all new suspension, interior, engine bay parts, and all kinds of wiring goodies and extra projects. A weekend job turned into an almost 2 year project.
Feels good man, so enjoy it...because it'll be back in the garage for 'something' and it might not be a quick in and out like you expect it to.

This was an interior job started in July, turned dash pad in August, turned seized brakes, turned new brakes and calipers, turned to brakes lines and cross over lines, turned side pipes, turned burned leg, turned to new wheels, turned to new tires, which turned in to a garage lift, new garage door, new cabinets...well, you get the idea. Had to get it out while there was still sunshine to enjoy it. Now, what will I work on this winter?
Oh, never mind, I forgot I have to work on the brakes on the other 77. Egad, how long will winter last? I have lots to do...

As much work that I have to do to cars, winter wont last long enough.
