    "Wouldn’t want to add any more rust to a body that’s achieved such a perfectly balanced distribution of corrosion"
    is the best line in the piece.

    The car has such a great vibe, kudos for producing something akin to so many of our fantasies.
    Who wouldn't like to find such a thing stashed away?

    Love the seats, the wheels, the biodes... need I go on? What a super-cool car with a really neat story. It was a very satisfying read.

    Thanks guys!!!! I wasn't sure when it was coming out and haven't seen it yet.

    Randy was so cool to work with and made the deal so much fun! When I first showed the car to him, he took a step back and then a big smile slowly appeared.

    It seems people like or hate it! And I keep getting asked the question, "So when are you going to paint it?" I just tell them it's done and watch the puzzled looks on their faces.

    I've got to say, I would hang out on the PCA forum, and just lurk here. But, I find there is so much info here and everyone is so helpfull, and all you guys like the old school stuff just like me.
