ME 2, I really a bit shocked that in hotrod heaven, Jax Fl. the amount of attention my highly modified '72 gets every time I take it out, which is maybe 5X/week for a 2 mile round trip to the store/bank/auto parts/home despot...... but the car gets notices, in spite of it being just a cheeep Macco paint job.....it's at best a ten-ten car in reality....



see the pix below .....

It looks like she's safe from the elements so spend some quality quite time together.

And of course

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

I came home an hour early and moved her out of the garage and into the shop. A few buds came by after work and we had a couple beers and told her how good she looks. Lol. I think she appreciates that sort of thing!




It was a beauty day here... to bad the roads suck. Best to keep here safe.

Dvl.
