Couldn't Resist... Waking the 71SE

[Archie]

Finally out of the garage after a winter that just doesn't want to end. First I've really had the chance to see the car in the light of day since putting it together last fall/winter. Since fixing the wiring meltdown, it starts using the key instead of a screwdriver bridging the relay! It's interesting to think how many donor parts were needed for this one. I used good original parts over repro's when able. Just on the outside there's parts from at least twenty different cars. Nickel and dime you to death, but it's all worth it when it comes together. No show car mind you, just a driver with some show car details.







Cranked it up with Bill Wither's Use Me Up coming over the original AM/FM radio. Closest thing to a time machine haha! Plan to have some fun with this car over the summer.

Archie, it looks great!
Did you ever find the gunmetal door panels you were looking for?

Very nice Archie. Looks like it's ready to drive to Carlisle.

Thanks guys, Still looking for some better panels but using the ones I have now since they're not that bad. Bob, I don't have A/C yet so there's no chance of driving it down there according to the wife, i mean Boss . Believe me I would love to get it there and park next to Joel's silver sunroof 71SE for some pic's.

Man that looks great!

The first Gunmetal sighting of Spring! Nicer weather surely must follow.

I'm a optimist, it is going to 75 degrees and 20% humidity .

Don't believe him.
He fibs to me about what the "normal" weather is there, to coax me into coming up for the show, every year.

It's worked for years  , but really, it is going to 75 degrees and 20% humidity.

Yes, our friend Bob does not have a future as a meteorologist, I'm afraid.
