My 67 that I have been working on since June of last year actually went around the block today. First time it has moved in five years on it's own power. Still have to work the bugs out of the brakes, etc. but it now moves. I am gonna drink some beers and celebrate. Later Wootdog

Hey, do you have a pair of 1967 Virginia plates yet? If not, I have a pair that you can have.

Wootdog · 03-06-2004, 09:43 PM

Randy that is an idea. You gonna be home tomorrow? If you still have the bumper, etc. I can get it. Kerry
