Thanks, It's in really nice shape. We had it painted maybe 10 years. It needs to be buffed out and waxed now. It has a little rust starting to come through on the rear of the left front finder.

I've rebuild the engine and transmission, brakes and replaced all the bushings in the front end.

The front fenders are one of the trouble spots on these things. I'm doing everything humanly possible on my 67, to keep it from rusting.

I'm kind of ashamed to admit it but when I was a little kid (6-7) I really liked going to the tire shop with my Dad when he got tires fixed, so I somehow came up with terrific plan of putting nails behind their vehicles tires so they would need fixed...... Evidently six nails in a two inch area on several tires was kind of a giveaway..... Luckily Dad was sympathetic to my explanation and took his threat very literally and didn't do it again if I hadn't I'm not sure I could've sat down for several weeks. The things I get to look forward to from my kids, my oldest is four this year and a boy that thinks like me....

Ha! In a couple years I'm going to have to start watching for that, Lol. He still does a good job of only playing only in the sandbox or the deck.... Although those days are numbered. He loves anything Dad does with him, it's pretty cool but also makes a guy think about what he does....
