You beat me to it, Tim! Great news. I can't wait to pull my car out from under wraps and see if it'll start. I should have done it Saturday when it was 70 degrees, but other errands called me away from the house.[:(]

I need to park it out in the sun to soften the roof so I can put it up. It hasn't been up for almost 3 years.

Willie Nelson said it best -"On the road again!"

I put the charged battery back in the car tonight and on the second crank it started right up after a 4 month hibernation. [:D]

If the weather stays nice, it's going to be a fun spring. [8D]

If it cools off and I have to put it up I use a hair dryer and extension cord (if I'm near A/C.) Original and looks like new but it is stiff.

I wonder if that's how it got the reputation of being a hair dressers car.[:D]

I agree with Gubi.

ran mine yesterday too (just to blow out the cobwebs) , unfortunately have not got around to the clutch work yet as it's still to busy in the shop for project cars .......


Were having record breaking heat here in on the east coast, which means it will be back to rain once the car show and camping/vacation season starts [B)]
