THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!! Veronica is on the road!
« on: October 27, 2008, 19:44:12 »
Thank you everyone who made this dream of mine a sucess.... there is no way I could have gotten this car back together without the help of the great people on this site.  I want to thank everyone for their time and knowledge. Of course I am going to do some more tinkering over the winter, but I have spent 2 glorious weekends driving the car and everyday it runs a little smoother, downshifts quicker and sounds better...  AGAIN THANK YOU !!!  I will try to help out others with the knowledge I have learned.

Your Friend

The car looks great Bob. Thanks for saving it.  Maybe you should call it Phoenix or Lazarus    ;)   As you are finding out, the more you drive them, the better they run.
