That's really cool! I look forward to see pics of the restoration and to see Gary replace the &quot;crown&quot; on the engine. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Love that last picture showing the two of you removing the &quot;first part&quot; to start the restoration.

There's nothing like an original owner being reunited with HIS car and sharing their how and why stories. Congratulations!!!

Awesome story. I bought my 67 RS/SS from the original owner in 1984. When I finally got around to doing a frame off restoration in 2006, I called the original owner to get his input on the restoration to make it as authentic as possible. After coming to the house with his wife and two kids who grew up with the car, he was nearly brought to tears that I still had it, AND that I wanted his input on the restoration. Icing on the cake was that he still had the original bill of sale twenty two years after selling the car. It has been reunited with the car. I should have taken pictures!

That really is the hobby at it's core there. Two guys sitting around talking about a car. I'm sure the old main seal let out a couple drops of oil. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
