Snow is gone and the roads are clear and dry. Clocks go forward today. My favorite time of year. I just put 4 new shocks on the 68 and a nice coat of polish. I am ready to go 
Are you ready for spring?

I tuned up the car last Saturday & drove it all weekend.
Took it out again today, 50's & tomorrow will be the same.
My plans for the spring, it goes in my pals shop for new paint next month.
I'm gonna order a new interior from Willcox & am getting some new rims.
Also looking at some underhood bling as well.
That's pretty much all it needs.

Jeff -i only use the V2K if i'm leaving the city...(this will be her 7th season)
the Hotrod , for around town is best , because dealing with the stupids (cagers) light-weight is better...

I've got to do something with carb, either replace it or rebuild it, and getting duals on it this week finally. Few more things left to do but those 2 are the main things I want to get done before I start driving it much this year.

I'm ready, but my car isn't ... I thought I'd be ready for spring with my frame off that I started in November...
The chassis is ready, but I'm just starting on the body.. it seems like a lot bigger project than I expected.. I'm guessing 4th July now... enjoy the spring guys! Atleast I've got my harley to hold me over

I said that same thing two years ago and still haven't mated the body and chassis together yet. So after 2 spring time arrivals, I couldn't take it anymore so I bought my 71 to drive as the 69 was undergoing the facelift.Terry

Here in cny winter is not over but I am ready. After 3 1/2 years of a total restoration on my 68 coupe and completing late late fall i did not get a chance to really drive the car, so needless to say the spring itch is here

Awesome pic Pete! I understand the 800 in town, they are made for that, as is the V2K for the highway! I have toyed with doing an 800 bobber like Craig for sometime, right now you can get them cheap. But I think I would like to make it a little more dirt tracker looking. They are fun little bikes. Is the hotrod still a hardtail? Or did Bill put the shock back on before you bought it?

Getting ready for late spring
My to do list is pretty long. I probably won't be on the road until late May with this list:
- Install the hydraulic clutch kit from Keisler
- Instal the new diff I picked up today from Paul at Northside Corvette
- Clean up the rest of the rear end
- Keisler RS500 PerfectFit kit
- Install a complete AC Delete kit
- Replace the body mounts (yuch!)
