What's up guys? It's been a while but, been busy with my vert.
Here is my 55vert when I got it.
After I restored it, she looked like this and I think a lot of you guys saw pictures of her in this forum.
I drove her for a few years but, still I wasn't satisfied with her so I when ahead and fully restored her again. I tripped her down completely .

WOW! I LOVE it! It's refreshing to see someone not only save an old 'vert, but to actually do a fantastic job of bringing it back to it's original glory! Great Job!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, throughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, WOW....what a ride....

Thanks guys for your comments! It took me almost 2 years to finish the restoration but now I'm enjoying it every chance I get.
