Thanks for noticing.   Matt Avery did a nice job on the article.   He's been working on this since September.    My dad bought the car 40 years ago the weekend of MCACN.  That was why both my cars were there.

AWESOME!  CONGRAT'S!

Sorry I missed you at the MCACN show, everytime we were by your cars you must have been elsewhere.

Are those factory installed door edge mouldings?

The small plastic door edge guard in the pic was with the car when we bought it.   I assume it was on the car when new.    It's still in the glove box.   

Dave, sorry I missed you as well.    The show was a total blur.

Thank you, everyone.   It was a lot of fun to have both cars at MCACN in Chicago.   My nephew helped get the green car there and back.     That weekend was 40 years ago that my dad bought the car.   So we had cake for the car at the show on Saturday.

It is not very often that I can have both cars at one show.    I call the green one my "rain car".   It has windows that go up and down.
