He certainly is! My Mom is really excited too. She's funny. Sometimes I get caught up on little things that nobody else will see or notice. She says "The car is absolutely beautiful. Would you quit worrying that poor car to death and just drive it". I've learned a lot over the past 44 years, and one of them is to always listen to your mother.

My original radiator cap just came back from being restored by Joe Perri. He did a very nice job.

Yeah, Joe seemed pretty excited when he got it. He said it was a great core and he was very happy with how it turned out.

Lots of time spent on stuff the average person will never see, but it helps me sleep at night:

1) Cleaned the entire front suspension and freshened up the paint on a few things.
2) Installed sway bar end links (originals, re-plated) and lower A-arm bumpers.
3) Installed new brakes: NOS Delco shoes along with all new springs & adjusters. Drums are factory original and in beautiful shape.
4) Repacked wheel bearings, installed new seals, installed hubs & set end play (hey, if you have a dial indicator & mag base for it you have play with it some time).

Looking very nice Jeff.

Did you get the springs from Heartbeat City?
