I finally got the car out to a cruise night last night, had alot of fun, met alot of very nice people (including a forum member!) and the interest in the car was unreal. Cant wait to enjoy it more this summer!
After some people left, I was able to move the car with two good friends who own a beautiful 72 442 and super nice 73 z28:
I still have lots of detailing to do in the nooks and crannies, buffing of the paint (black is tough with towel marks...), and some nick nacks to work on, but i'm having fun!
