I didn't stop, just drove it to the back and came back. Some of them will!

Thanks for the well wishes guys. I will bring it to the track from time to time, and maybe some shows.

Started going over TS this am, (pushed it out [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] )

Saw this sticker:

Anybody recognize it?

Again, thanks for the well wishes and rest assured TS will not be &quot;restored&quot; while I am the caretaker.

I may re add the red stipe from TS's glory days. Anyone know why it was not put back when the car was freshened up?

When I get back in town I sure will.....

Would be nice to find a way for the Dad to see/sit in and maybe even Run TS again.

Rich, I saw the TS when it was brought back from Ohio I believe. The buyer stopped by to see what we thought of the car as we had done the Vitar COPO for him. Don't quite remember how it all shook out, but I think the car was done in Cedar Rapids by Larry Buyers. Again, not sure. The car was owned at the time I saw it by Clint Richmond who last I knew was in the Waterloo, Cedar Falls area.
FWIW.

taking a shot in the dark on the side winder sticker....could be a previous owner worked on the program, side winder is the AIM 9 air to air missile the services use to shoot bad guys out of the sky.

Congrats on the car. Have fun with it.
