Yup. Just been overly busy. Scaled things back so hopefully I'll have more time to myself now lol. All is well though. Good to see yours coming together

Mike asked me to drive the car around this weekend to see if there are any problems and to let the fenders and doors settle out before he puts the side stripes on. There are also a few small items left like wipers left to put on.

The car rides very smooth and strong, but there is something rubbing in the passenger side wheel well. I'll have to look closer at the problem tomorrow.

I went through a little over half a tank of gas today.

Alex and I picked it around 12 pm.

Then drove around Simsbury and Granby, and then went for ice cream at the Granval Scoop in Granville MA.

It ended up being a beautiful day to cruise around! :)

Car looks awesome!

Must feel great to be driving it!!?? Congrats!!

cool, congrats!!!!

Thanks guys!!!

Feels terrific.

It's a much quieter and tighter ride than my 68. The 68 engine is louder which is surprising since it's a small block. Also in this car, I hear a lot less road noise which must be due to the dynamat.

Congrats dave thats awesome you got back to play with lol. The car looks amazing cant to see it in person.

Awsome!! Good to see it running around.

What beautiful weekend to get your car back.

Awesome David! Enjoy it!

The passenger side rear tire was hitting on the wheel molding. The original leaf springs that were on the car were flat on the passenger side. One of the former owners must have taken out a couple of leafs to lower the car since there were only 3.

Almost all 69 big blocks had 5 leafs but some had 4. Mike said 5 will be going back in tomorrow. If the weather gets better and the car is ready, I'd like to go to Dawg's McDonalds show on Friday, the Celebrate Granby small car show Saturday and the Simsbury Fly-in car show on Sunday.

Here are some pics of the underside before taking the leaf springs out.

Dam dave nice ass lol

HA HA. Thanks Frank.... :shiftyeyes:

A lot of hatred in my blood flowing right now!! Think we need to fist fight! And winner takes the car?????

HA!!!!

It's amazing that on March 4th 2011 it looked like this and I wanted to push it off a cliff. If you wanted to fight about it on March 4th 2011, I would have had it delivered to your house....no charge. LOL.

Hahaha crazy how far it came. And it looked like a nice whole car when you bought it too. Far superior car now!!

looks great for sure!
if Im choosing the trophies youll get one friday for sure !!!!!:sFun_crazydance:

I still bet your car is cleaner then my house lol

The main lesson I learned is never buy a car with 1/2" of undercoating!!!


Thanks Dawg! Hopefully it will be ready for a few shows this weekend.


LOL. The first dent or scratch is going to be real painful.

Don't even say that!

But you know, it's either that or let that awesome car sit in the garage completely dent and scratch free

^^^^ fuck that! Drive it!!

I 100% agree to drive it, just don't think about scratches or dents lol

for the amount your paying to get it done you should have at least 3 years warranty and free scratch and dent fixes on the car!
Hope to seee ya tonite at the holloween show!:)

Labrecque's does warranty the work they do, but not scratches and dents.

I should be there around 6. If you're anywhere close when I come in, can you get me a parking spot that is NOT near Squiggey or near the douche with the Porsche that likes to lean on my car.

Just make a sign, "Douche with Porsche, do not lean" lol

the douche with the porsche never shows up anymore lol.

HA HA HA. That would make a great sign.


NICE. See you tonight.

He leans on yours you sit on his.

I say donkey kick the quarter.....

Fixt

Actually its not the douches cars fault he a douche for doing it i would just pick him up and just pile drive into the assault then maybe he will learn a valuable lesson. Lol

congrats on the trophy David, the first one is the one youll always remember.
And I played a little part hehe.
Car looks awesome!!!!

Any pictures from the show?

David-
Are you going to the Simsbury Fly-In on Sunday?
I'm going to try to go over with the Land Rover.

I had a great time Dawg, Thanks!!! I was glad my stepfather showed up. Usually he never goes to shows.


I have a couple pics from when I picked the car up today but I didn't get many at the show. I spent a lot of time talking with people.

I am going to the Fly-In Sunday. It gets very packed there so I'm going to try to get there early.
