    So Sweet. Ryan, That car is so special and thanks for being the next caretaker. Bill has to be proud..

    Im sure you have thought about cleaning it up with a powermaster internal regulated one wire alternator and lose the voltage regulator off the fire wall?....

    I am proud. But my pride is humbled by my happiness. I'm happy that 3AC has a good home and an owner that will care for her the way I did when I was able. I garnered many years of enjoyment working on and building her, driving her and showing her. Now it's Ryan's turn. I've been following this thread closely and I like everything he is doing. Thanks Ryan, thanks Dave.

    Yeah Gary I called Tim to see if he was coming down to NC and could get them from you but he was unable to come this year because they canceled racing. I think I am going to come up to see Bill soon and if I do I would like to meet up with you to get the trophies if that would be alright with you.

    Decided to paint the marker light houses a iron color. I didn’t care for the Black behind the bumper. The lights I painted aluminum.

    I think Dave has spent more time laying under this car the last week or so than in his own bed lol.

    Going back together with cleaned, painted, and powder coated parts. I had some good working original T3 headlights so I put them in.

    Yeah poor dave has really gone way overboard with helping me get this car on the road again. I owe him big time and I plan to help him when he gets started on his restoration of the 1969 GS400 4spd Convertible he is going to restore. I am very thankful he lives so close (less than 5 miles away ) and willing to help me. I will also say Dave has taught me so much !!! He is a wealth of knowledge.
