Title: *** Not a TA, but our other project car ***
Post by: '78 LadyBird on March 29, 2010, 05:07:29 PM

This is the Z that Frank bought last year right after having surgery on his shoulder.  Our boys and Frank worked on it for months, but then came along my TA.  I searched for months for new/used bumpers, and finally found them along with lights and the grille.   Not easy finding parts for this car.

 So this project has been put on the back burner for a wee bit until Frank finds another job WHICH I hope is  REAL SOON!!
Keep saying those prayers!

Our youngest son, who is sitting on the car will get this when he graduates High School.(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh192/tylerandtony/100_1763.jpg)

It will be some time before this one is done.  I need to find a new floor pan for it.  Lots of rust on her, but she purrrrs like a kitten.  Sad, how cars can get like this and yet the engine runs great!
