Looks like we will be hitting the hills of Rhode Island by the Fourth of July! So honk real loud if you see us cruising on past you!

Thanks Arik. I'm so stoked. It should be ready in days. Since this was a complete restoration, it couldn't have been done without the guys at EXTREME Restorations. They left no detail unturned. Big shout out to EXTREME!!!

Hey guys. I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. My restoration began in February of 2014. It is a previous two owner California car. While trucking it in the awful winter weather late December 2013 cross country to Rhode Island, the engine block cracked but I lucked out and found another rebuilt one. The biggest challenge has been finding original parts. A big shout out to everyone here who has helped out with parts and suggestions. I'm planning on attending the Tutto Italiano at near Boston August 2 at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. Anyway, here are a few new photographs. Again, many thanks to everyone who has offered advice, parts and support.
