Hey Chris, what a great job on the car and the restoration website. I will never complain again about a single bird getting my car! Looks like yours was at the bottom of the birdcage for a few years when you got it! Rick

Good lookin' car, Dirty 70bird! Must have been fun hosing that thing off the first time...have you taken it to any of car shows around Minneapolis? I don't know if I've ever seen it before.

Your website is well done, too. I noticed your minibike, here's a pic of mine.

Thanks for the comments, Have not been to that many shows around the Twin Cities. I was at the Car Craft Summer Nats a few years ago, but the car was not finished then. I am not even sure how to findout what events are going on for 2005.

Here's a before picture, but you'll have to wait a while for the after one.
This is just after it got home & before being cleaned up.
