Default More Pics of Frank Nesta's '77 Restomod Vert!

Frank's Restomod is a 1977 Coupe converted to a converible. He's the original owner!

Nice car. Looks so much sleeker as a vert.

If possible leave your door open a bit. Works for my fidgety bride. I guess there's just to much shinny stuff inside their pocket books.

That is an absolutely beautiful car! I would be delighted to drive one of those beauties around.

Ok, I'll gladly do the picture thing, but I have a real question. Has anyone ever had their top fail to go up?? I had this happen once. The top would go up but it would not complete the locking action as the rear part of the top would not lower onto the rear deck after it moved into place. The top was down in the garage and it was a cold morning and I wanted to drive to the course with the top up. Ended up taking my DDer and it has never failed since. I could hear the motor trying to lower the rear of the top but no such luck. Not a huge problem given that it has not recurred. But.....and here is my picture.

I'm an old guy so how do I do that? I've got plenty of pics that the salesperson took before I drove it off the lot. It's Blade Silver, red leather, red brake calipers and the Z51 style chrome tires. Looks pretty sweet IMHO.

I've had nothing but convertibles since I bought a Miata in 1990. Nests a Mustang, then a BMW Z3, then a Jaguar XK8, then a couple of Merz SL 500's. Was driving a Cadillac XLR that I traded in for this. And I must say I am more excited about this car than any except perhaps the Miata 28 years ago.

I might need some help here. My disclaimer is that I am working on a Mac not windows based. So it might not be exactly the same for you???

But, when I reply a response box opens up and you type your message. Across the top are 2 icons. One is what looks like a globe which is for insert link. The other looks like 2 pyramids. That is insert image. Click on that. Upload pictures screen pops up. you can drag and drop the picture you want to use or browse your devise (computer). Then search your computer for the picture you are looking for. Click on it, choose, it will down load, inset, and it should appear. At the bottom you should see preview. Click on that and you see the photo you selected. Good luck and I hope this helps.
