Default ANOTHER GREAT WHITE BACK FROM THE DEAD!

Well after a year of frustration, talking to myself and the car, $$, cuts and scrapes, torn miniscus, metal splinters and especially lots of enjoyment, it is finished. What do you think??

Needed new paint job which I had someone do locally. New half shaft joints, s/s manifold bolts (old rusted in). Replaced the radiator support, recored the radiator, new surround reinforcement headlamp bar, tru-flex front and rear bumpers. New trim rings. New leather seat covers and cushions which I did myself. New carpeting and cans and cans of interion dye. Paid $3400 for the car. :) :)

I guess with our water restrictions it is the only option. Do you go down to Sterling?
I think it would be great to get together for a cruise being we are practically neighbors. I hop I could keep up.
