Title: Before pictures
Post by: 49er on March 01, 2013, 23:04:20

 Have seen a lot of "before" pictures of member's cars so I thought I would post a few of my car taken back in May of 2010 after the car had basically sat covered in our garage(s) for 18 years with only 664 miles accumulated since 1981 and it's trip down to be "re born" at Ernies. I kept the wheel covers home and the Michelin tires were brand new back in '99 with zero miles but had to be replaced. Wrong size anyway:-)

Even in the before pictures it still looks great and I just love it.

An absolute credit to you John in maintaining it in such great condition through out its life.

 It was an electronic "gizmo" that I bought out of a J.C. Whitney  catelolog back in the very early 70's that was supposed to simulate an electronic ignition system and "improve performance".  Made no difference whatsoever and is no longer on the car:-)
