New guy from Dallas, Tx
Hello everyone, my name is Bobby. I have been restoring a 1978 for several months now and using all your great knowledge to help answer my many questions. I thought it was time to register and make it official! This is a great resource and I appreciate all the help. I just took the car for its first drive in over 10 years and am excited to get it back on the road. I still have a ways to go but we are getting there. I am actually restoring it for my brother in law (was his fathers car) and have made some videos to help document it for him. You guys can check them out if interested. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you all as I complete this build.
