Just wanted to introduce myself. Bought a 77 from my brother in law, to which he commented "Welcome to hell". Oh well, I hope you folks can give a dose of common sense as I rebuild this beast. I think it looks cool.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!!!!! True, these cars "can be" a handful, especially the older ones, but not necessarily a one way ticket to the looney bin. It really helps to be here, to have like minded friends who have been through it to share with and draw strength from. Best of luck with the resto project. Enjoy the car and the Forums.

Yes, I got him started on the path to ????? We'll see.
At least we kept it in the family. Some might remember a while back I was debating whether to part it out or not. It's great to see it go to a good home. There is a lot of work ahead but the end results should make it all worth it. With that VB&P suspension under it it will be a great driver.
Brian, you had a pretty big smile on your face when you were driving off in it.
I guess I'll have to change my signature to delete the 77. Down to 4 now.

You should have seen the smile when I got into it a little bit going up the hill. Can't wait to get started. Thanks
