'79 is out!!!
I got the '79 out of storage today, just had to pump up a couple of tires and drove her out of the compound. Gave her a oil change, checked all fluids and gave her a bath! She seems to be running pretty good, left a couple of black marks on the road though!!!!

Good stuff, at least your getting it done.
Next is Sherm when he recovers, then Ryan and hopefully maybe even mine some time this summer.
