Thanks for checking in.
As I mentioned last time (and again in this video) I am searching for my next project.
With #ProjectSportsRoof settled in its new home and getting ready for paint, I’m looking for my always coveted C3.
I’m going to chronicle the search here and in my group on Facebook Average Guy’s Car Restorations and Projects https://www.facebook.com/groups/448659875541893.
This video kicks this search off. Enjoy.

Well the one thing you can count in life is change. For many years I had both a Corvette and a Mustang. My first combo was my 1970 Mustang and my 1984 Corvette. Then it was my 1970 Mustang and my 2007 C6 Corvette. Then it was my 1973 Mustang and my 2006 Corvette. As I grow a bit older, my love of cars has never changed, my love of working on them has never changed. But at some point too many cars or cars with too much work needed, it’s time for settle down and make a choice. To help fund that choice, #ProjectSportsRoof has a new home in beautiful sunny California.
My very first car was a 1966 Chevy Impala convertible, restored by my father (an auto body specialist) and given to me as a high school graduation gift (this was in 1976). But I have always longed for a corvette. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and the C3 was what I was drawn to and still am.
So soon I’ll be re-joining the Corvette fold once again, as my search is on for mid-70’s – 1982 Vette. (Unless a 1966 Impala shows up).

When I added the Delta 45’s to #ProjectSportRoof – #SR73, the tailpipes came up short. I’m not sure why that happened and I’m not sure why I didn’t notice it. But hey it gave me a quick project while I’m on our fall break.
I was going to polish up the ends but I’m going to shop for some chrome ends. Drop Me some suggestions.
Here is the video:

Check out what came this month.

I was chatting with someone online about cars and I recalled driving home with my first Mustang project car. It was a 1970 Coupe, not fastback, or Mach I, not even a Grande. You can still find so of the work on that car here on my blog. I purchased the car in Phx, Az. from a lady who got the car from her mom. Her mom was the first owner. It was 6 cylinder (250) with a/c and in pretty good shape. I remember driving it down the freeway not knowing much about it mechanically and I didn’t want to temp fate by turning on the a/c, just needed it to make back to Tucson. I wish I had recorded that drive, but it would not have been comparable to the ride home in #ProjectSportsRoof. Now that one I did record.
So, I thought I’d put together a quick video showing the drive home and toss some before pics and a “now’ video snippet. Here ya go!
I think not.

Temps weren’t in the triple digits this morning so I thought I’d fire up the Stang (#ProjectSportRoof) and runner down the main drag a bit. As I started her up and let her idle a bit and wrapped up the car covers I noticed a dripping underneath.
Details:
I have a few Petrol Box supplied products to test out. Get ready for those videos!!
Lots more coming!!
Thanks for checking in.

Too hot to work on the Stang. Here is something I like, car related.
