I've been fluffing Adrian in preparation for the spring show season. Here's some random pics of some of the finer details.
Let's start with the very coveted OEM cowl seal. Off with the repro and on with a very nice part from Tellyshavalli.... Thank you Matt And a detail of the trim tag. The Adriatic blue is dusted on the trim tag from the painting of the side of the cowl bulkhead as was often seen on original cars. Also visible is the red oxide primer under and behind the trim tag. TR 222 PNT 24 24 Build date: 03D (March 22-28)

Speaking of shows, here' the schedule for the balance of Adrian's spring coming out party:
March 13 - 15: San Antonio World of Wheels Autorama http://saautorama.com/ This will be a freaky show for sure as two Factory Freaks from the early '70's will be displayed side by side. Ronnie Melvin and his black '73 SD-455 will be joining Adrian as a combined display of early second gen One of One TA's. Groovy baby. March 20-22: Good Guys Lone Star Nationals - Fort Worth Texas https://www.good-guys.com/slsn-2015 I'm looking forward to the track tour to see what Adrian's top speed is ![]() April 24 - 26: Concours De Elegance of Texas at La Torretta Lake Resort Montgomery TX. http://www.concoursoftexas.org/ I'm hoping many of the Houston crew from these forums will come out Sunday to meet and see Adrian.

I'm starting to get the feeling we're not going to get that burnout we were promised.

Andrea is out of town and the "Coveted OEM Cowl Seal" is making me feel all tingly.....
Yeah, I think Chris is right about the burnout being a thing of low probability. Maybe he could just send us pictures of black stripes on some random road. Wait a minute, that's already been done..... |
