Wish I could, but I had to move and have a small driveway with no garage. So unless I hit the lottery, I won't be able to get another one! :-\

But they will always be in my blood, and I still enjoy coming here and getting my Trans Am fix through everyone else!  8)

Awesome Doug, great job! Always good to see another bird saved!! 8)

Is that it for the fab work, or is there more?

Sir English, all is not lost, at least I have a TATA to work on! I may even modify it!!  ;)

doug you are a wizard, not sure i will ever be able to thank you enough or compensate you for your efforts.  money is just a figure, you went so far and beyond what you could have done, first class in every way.  thanks again and again and you have my lake house available to you at your disposal. 

yeah this bird is mine.  i'm glad i met you last year at the nats and more glad about our growing friendship. 

also, huge thanks to shaker breaker for donating a spring cup area for doug to use in the repair, same thanks goes your way, first class.

That's awesome. I think I should nix the plan to move back to CA and just move to Ohio. You guys are a cool group. Always helping each other out and there seems to be a huge TA community there. Very motivating to watch your threads.

insured for zero right now, have not gotten it yet, waiting for the repairs so i can get it appraised for classic insurance.

get classic/historic plates, get professional appraisal, then get insurance for amount of appraisal.

hopefully the welds hold, ripcord looks weak and easily damaged again.
