Just got back from dropping my 66 off for a two to three month restoration. It is wierd not seeing it in the garage. I don't miss the pallets of parts though.

Going to be a long few months

You payed in way too much if you can afford to have a three month restoration done on the refund.

A guy in Dickson I met at the Nashville Bellevue Mall cruise in.

I have actually been saving for about 3 years. It was nice to see the pallets of parts move out of the garage

I ment to go to a cruise in this past year. I've got a buddy in m-borro that goes to those. He's got a silver rx-7. I think it was the bellevue mall he said. (I'm from Chattanooga)

I work ten to twelve hours a day plus a one hour commute. I usually spend some of my weekends working also. I have no time left to spend working on the stang.
