Thanks guys for the kind words.  Ghost you're welcome anytime to come up to NH and take it for a spin.

Tom

Wanted to ask if you aligned the front and rear suspension by yourself or had it done.

Ed,
Got it as close as I could by myself.  I plan to get it to my friends shop to have him align it.

Tom, the car looks great! I like the wheels too, and the way it sits in the fenders.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Thanks Chopper!  Took it to my friends garage this morning to get a NH inspection sticker, now it's legal.  Then took it to work and gave a friend of mine a ride at lunch.  He's done a lot of machine shop work for me.  Drove it home and made a few stops along the way to show some other guys that it was on the road.

Hey Tom, is that primer you have on your car? If it is what type/brand are you using?  It looks like the primer I use and I am down to 1/2 gal. I bought 4 cases from my PPG distributor when they discontinued manufacturing it. OMNI Acrylic Lacquer- high speed. I like the dk grey, it's easier for me to see sand scratches when I'm blocking.

A friend of mine up the street shot it.  He said it was a Nexa primer sealer.  Hope this helps.

Thanks Yes I will be at the show with the 33.  The date is Saturday August 30 though.  Hope to see you, Don and any other Rusty Bowtie guys there.

Well it's been in the 20s and 30s all week up here so I guess I've taken the last ride of the year.  I was able to put 1,074 miles on the 33 since I got it on the road in August, mostly on the back roads of New Hampshire.  Now it's time to get to work.  I have my "to do" list made which includes insulation on the floor and some carpeting.  I'd like to get the door handles working and put the windows in it.  If all goes well maybe get the top on it.

I'm sure glad to see you finally got some road time in before winter. I wish I had.  Maybe you'll get a chance at paint by spring? I really like your car. :)

Well guess it's time to start working on my sons 37 sedan, need to install rear axle, Mustang II and the 95 LT1 driveline.  Garage heater is working..but kerosene is still $3.99 a gallon!

Thanks Sammons.  Paint is probably a year or two off.  If I can get the things on my list done I'll be happy.  Come Memorial Day next year I plan to drive it and enjoy it for the summer.
