Found an old Polaroid from the 70’s.
Woohoo!
Congrats! Thank you all for putting in the time and energy to keep er goin!
Agree. Looks amazing!
Was not a fan of the black plastic wiper blades.
Looks much better imo.
Thanks for the warm welcome. Pleasure meeting everyone in attendance.
Thanks Roger. Yes it is a bit chilly. But the heater works! And I like to take advantage of nice weather when we have it. Not much sand on the roads yet.

Got the top latched after being stowed for 40 years lol. Road test new master cyl. 120 mi.
New brass Radiator, hoses, clamps and coolant, just in time for a fathers day spin.

Got a new exhaust manifold. Match ported it to the gasket. Ran it over a flat table belt sander to insure the ports were flat.

Sounds good, no...

4 new 185/80/13 Maxxis, slighty over sized, and a little soft, but so much better than the VERY old Sears weatherhandlers.
