Re: 72 TA : New Project
Man that car is stunning; and I thought it looked good before the restoration.

Re: 72 TA : New Project
If you knew how much money I've put into it in the past 6 years you'd be stunned, too! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
Thanks for the compliment [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] We'll see what it reaches first: 100,000 views, 100 pages or $100K into the resto! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Re: 72 TA : New Project
Steve, all of your hard work has finally paid off. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Have you got plates for it yet, or are you going to park it in the family room for a while? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] Why would you be surprised that it works? It's built to better than factory specs. For all your attention to detail, it better work. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img]

Re: 72 TA : New Project
Plates? Heck, it's been registered for 6 years now with the New Jersey QQ historic plates. I just havent been able to drive all of the car at one time. Though I have driven various parts of it over the years as I assembled it.
There's nothing like sittin' on a milk crate while driving a shell with no front sheetmetal, up and down the driveway for half a decade pining for the day when I could actually see a shaker in front of me and not a radiator cap! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: 72 TA : New Project
At least PitViper no longer is forced to moonlight as a trans am workbench, although just being near Poncho parts may be considered an upgrade... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Re: 72 TA : New Project
Yeah! I now know what it's like to discover a vintage barn find - I found the old Viper in my own garage once I used up all those T/A parts!

Spent the afternoon cleaning up the "workbench". Look what I found underneath it.   I guess it's been undercover as a workbench quite a while since my son came out to the garage and said: "I didn't know we had a Viper?"
