1972 BB Convertible in Atomic Orange Color

I got your photos yesterday, but haven't had a chance to download them and get them posted to this thread. Hopefully I'll get them posted tomorrow.

All I can say is - It looks great all put together!

Thanks Tim.

I am satisfied with the work that was done. They did more then what we agreed upon, and the service incredible. I just can't what to get back to drive it before I park it for the winter.

I was thinking that I might have to change the front springs out. I installed the aluminum head and intake, added headers. I am wondering if the nose is going to be too tall.

Cheers

It took a few days, but here they are! Photo of Vito's freshly painted ride! It looks great, I bet you're really happy with it.

Here's the message and photos he sent:

Tim, another milestone.

I made it to the last stage. The car left the paint shop and now on to
Honest Performance for engine starting and testing. From the looks of the
front end, I probably should have put in shorter springs. I went to aluminum
heads and intake, and added headers. I think the front end might be too
light now.

I hope to make it back to the states soon so I can export it.

So you're planning to export it to Japan? Wow, I don't even know how you'd go about doing that and I definitely don't want to know how much it would cost!!!

Thanks Tim,

I hope to see yours and rbruce's soon.

I will still have a little work left to do when I return. The dash area and doors panels, A/C. No biggie as it will be winter again

I owe the Gary and family a lasagna dinner when I get back.

Thanks for posting for me.

Cheers

Did they get it running yet?

Thanks Paul,

Nope, no work done last week. Something about a rich guy with a pro stock car in front of me in the shop.

Just a quick note. The car is operational now. There is a few electrical issues that I need to address , but sounds great.

I will see if I can get a few more pictures to post.

Cheers

That's good news. Bet you can't wait to drive it silly. I wonder how long it'll take you to Cruise from Kadenaa to Okuma? I bet traffic has gotten worse since last time I was there...

Happy Thanksgiving,
Paul

Well,

After 14 long months the car is operational again. It was driven last week. Unfortunately I wasn't the one driving

Next stop is to my cousins shop. I will have 4 days to finish up the interior, install the A/C and find the electrical problem

Next phase - Export -

Can't wait to get home to drive it.

Cheers

Vito
