I did, and I meant to post about it but forgot. He loved the way it was turning out, I met him at a cars and coffee. He brought his Mercedes droptop but stood next to the SA for the entire time he was there reminiscing and telling stories about the car. Sometimes a friend of his would stop, or someone would ask about the car, he would tell them it used to be his. And then tell them how he sold it to me faded, not running, and then talk me up some. It was a good time for sure. Im glad he was happy to see the car back on the road.

Thats a sweet looking ride. Bring it down to DGRR next year please.

LED's are worth it, big time. Sooooo glad I did it. Ive been building my FB into a track car, and was hoping to bring it to DGRR soon. But the SA is from Knoxville...
