Default Don't you just love this hobby?

Just sitting on my seat next to my workbench having a warsteiner beer.. Looking at my car. Just reinstalled the trans tonight, put in a ATI torque converter I bought here years ago from a another forum member.
Got some Iron Maiden going on the radio, its just about midnight and I'm thinking about how close I am to getting this thing on the road after dragging it with me from house to house for 12 years..

I'm happy tonight but that might be the beer..

Good for you...I'm working on one that was my high school car and sat since '88. Unfortunately I'm not as close to the end as you are.

Great feeling ain't it!

I'm so close to driving this thing, but I don't want to rush it.

BTW, "Fear of the Dark" does it for me!

The garage goes through stages of total disaster to clean back to disaster and so on 😉
