My 71 convert is in the shop this winter and the 59 Nomad is in storage.

Plan is to stay focused and not delve into a full restoration.

will post some updates with pictures as it gets moving

 laughinglaughing yeah, right Bruce   laughinglaughing

Ask some of us how well that plan works.  rolleyes

Seriously, I hope you stick with the plan and have it back on the road for summer. I have done that with my '66 twice now and it does help to keep the interest and motivation going. Hang a calendar in the garage with a BIG circle around MAY 15th as the day you drive it back out...thumbsup

 

Just HAD to dig this up...December 27, 2015.   Five years, but you kept at it and it's a done car, well as "done" as they get.

My '66 has been off the road for 3 years now. Really hoping to drive again, later this year.

Congrats.
