This is now the Paradigm of how to restore a GTX in my books

I bet you can't wait to take it out for a spin gonna be a while though with all that snow down there. :beer:
Sometimes I get to feeling that if Xmas, Fathers Day and my Birthday did not exist, then aftershave too would not exist.

Thanks guys. I could probably write a book on the pitfalls of restoring a car. In the end, the journey was worth it, but I sure learned a lot along the way. Wise men always say to buy a car completed and there is a lot of truth to that, but you don't know exactly what you are buying. In this case I can sleep better at night knowing what is actually underneath my paint. :D
