Hi,

Just saying hello and sharing the only pic I have. It's a project I bought a couple years ago after my divorce and haven't spent much time on anything yet. It's a SWB and was running great but now I have some small items to fix. It has 350 with factory A/C and believe it or not the bench seat looks almost brand new. Items that need attention first... my turn signal switch seems broken where the hazard button pulls in/out, the keys are so old they won't turn the ignition switch and my parking break seems stuck. It has a new battery and steering wheel I need to put on when I get the column apart and fixed. The original color is Grecian Bronze and very appropriate color here in Austin, as I'm a Longhorn fan.

I look forward to posting and getting advise from all you wiseguys out there. :)

-Matt

Post a new thread is probably best.

If you need help, my youngest is becoming quite the roundeye expert as we restore her 1973 1 ton.
