Had the chance to run it down the road really quick this afternoon.

Been driving it around a good bit. One of the things I'm most happy with is that I didn't go crazy trying to cosmetically restore this thing yet. Loving the dents, scratches, and primer in spots. Could care less about actually just driving it and parking it anywhere.

Loving the dents, scratches, and primer in spots.

Yep. Looks about right. Leave it as is. Enjoy it.

Drive it and enjoy! I am a fan of making them pretty but all too often folks go overboard and sink far too much time, energy, resources and MONEY into a ride. I like my stuff shiny but I'll drive one primered, Calico, zebra'd...as long as it runs right. I commented earlier that you have a straight looking car and great bones to work with. Keep the pics coming.

Thanks. I do appreciate the compliment. I can definitely see myself running this thing all the time this summer.

Wasn't sure how I would like the look of these 295's, but they are growing on me.

My buddy Eric had the night off and hasn't had the opportunity to drive it on the road yet. Nice night here in PA.

Thanks. She's got a mouth on her though. She got her first taste of what I like to call "Boomer" show culture. I'm in my 50's and these are the ones that make me look really young. We weren't there 10 min before a couple of the t-shirt tucked in their shorts types came over and started nit picking the car....."those body panels don't line up.....back in my day we would't have come to a show with something unfinished, etc." It was awesome. I just sat back and watched her annihilate them. "Well gentleman, thanks for your suggestions. Let me ask you though, who built your car or did you buy it that way? I can tell you every nut and bolt that went in to this car, can you?" It was priceless.
