You can see the reflection in the front fender of the happy couple and also maybe the photographer squatting down to take the picture

I'm glad it got finished (correctly) in time. Everything looks great!

Thanks Troy and everyone else! Still a few clean up items yet to do on her, but most would never notice what's missing. Still can't decide if I want the 383 emblems on the scoops or leave people guessing.

[birdsandbees]

Photographer is working towards completing her album for her, for now I'm stealing low res pics by taking screen shots and cropping..

[moparstuart]

you clean up pretty good  Hippie 

[birdsandbees]

LMAO !!

So here it is a year later Wayne. Hope the daughter and her husband are fine, but just as importantly you haven't put the Bee in a ditch!!

[birdsandbees]

LOL Bob, everything's good and I drive the shit out of the car almost weekly! I've added over 500 miles to the odometer so far, gravel road and all.

[birdsandbees]

The sounds of music. Thank God I trained my wife well, most would just want to go the opera! Shows just how deep the paint is on the Bee. Just back from 70 miles of driving the shit out of both cars and getting groceries!

Looks great


SOOOOO

Which one won the drag race when you were out driving ??

[taxspeaker]

Idling? Really?
I see a paved road behind the gate-use it. We need smoking tires, hole shots and at least 1 grabbed gear before the snow flies.

Looking good Wayne, hope you get to drive them again before weather turns.
Bob

[birdsandbees]

LOL Bob, lots of video on Youtube out putting the cars through their paces. One day we'll get in some smoke show videos.. and that's a gravel road outside our gate unfortunately, we have almost a mile of it coming and and going out every time. So far I haven't chipped the Bee's paint..

Pictures from our 70+ mile cruise on Sunday and grocery shopping!

AWESOME CARS, I REALLY like them both !!!! 

[birdsandbees]

Thanks Charlie, we've put about 700 miles on both cars this summer.

Really nice.  I had missed the most recent posts (well over a year's worth) and just noticed the rock hammer for scale about a year ago.


Very nice cars, nice family. 

[Troy]

Awesome!

Thanks guys. This Winter I need to drop the trans and replace the input shaft seal and 1/2 shift shaft oring as they are weeping a bit running 20W50. Not bad for an OE trans that is 51 years old and has never been apart!

Have a better mirror for her with correct date code and a few other small parts. I few rattles to clean up and after that, I bet my Son is pretty happy with his inheritance!

Thanks for sharing the resto with us!!    (How is that "Red Beer"?)

[birdsandbees]

You are welcome!  The Red Brew is the best non-alcohol beer I've found so far. Good for keeping me out of the real stuff when I need too..
