Thanks guys - I've grinned so much thinking about this car my face hurt! Planning on fixing what needs to be fixed and driving the **** out of her. Needs some minor maintenance stuff, motor mounts and the dash. The 8 track needs to be serviced, A/C charged, and it could use a good cleaning. Will likely need paint from what I've been told, although I may leave it because I'm a sucker for that fresh from Grandpa's garage look. No rust ever, floors & trunk are perfect - but the decals have to go!
My son saw pictures for the first time last night - I think he finally "gets" it! He's going to need to spend some more time rowing the Formula before he gets to drive this one.
