Congrats Stick !! Stick .... or Automatic ? ;D
It looks real nice down to the wheel covers.
Nice color too.
Are you going to use it or clean it up and sell it?
I hope you show some pictures after it's first wash in a long time.

Are you going back for the plane?   That looks like a bigger project.

Congrats.
Always loved the 123 coupes.
And with that M110 engine it should fly!
Good luck with it.

Yes more pics.
