It's been a battle but fun

Tony

p.s.

I did get to drive it today.:-D:-D
Had to go put gas in it while it
was at the shop in town. Got it aligned today also. Need
to open up the center hole in the rear wheels to fit the
axle tenon. Should be able to drive it home tomorrow p.m.

I can't add anything to what's already been said here so I'll just join the chorus and say it's beautiful. Here's to a lot of years of pleasure from it.

Sit back and just admire your work now, bud. Soak in that feeling of a job well done, knowing that you've just accomplished a vision and let the world know - proudly - that she's yours.

:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:
 
All grown up and ready to face the world :cheers: Thank you for a great ride on this build thread :happy10:I will bet there will be many members use this thread for reference Tony :read2:
I sat and looked at your last picture for a few sips of coffee this morning just dreaming what it would be like driving that top of the food chain fish =P~
So how does it feel to have the coolest car in 5 counties brother :-D

Thank you Robert!

I'm a very proud papa......I may be 63 years old but this thing makes me
feel like a teenager in high school back in the mid 60's

Thank you brother!

I can only hope that even just one person was able to use any of the
info on the thread.

"Thank you for a great ride on this build thread"

That is just a cool comment Mike...no, thank you!

I can't describe how it feels to be driving this car....but it is a great feeling

I'm sure there are many of you out there that know how I feel right
now. I know you do Mike.......remember driving Victoria off for the
first time.

Gonna cruise the ice cream joint this evening:-D
 
Stunning, just love it.
Ohh and congrats to the kids award, that would make any guy proud.
 
Tony - absolutely awesome. As George Jetson said (when he was the mystery Judge at the Miss Universe Contest) when he saw Miss Mystery (Jane his wife) "Uba Doo-Ba, Doo-Ba!".

Congrats - enjoy.

Thanks Turbo! Comments like that make my day!
 
Dang! I just read through all 25 pages of this thread and find it to be absolutely amazing. It's sometimes really motivating and what can be done to these old beauties, and sometimes just plain out depressing at how many little things must be accomplished to get to this point.

Tony, I've always admired the 360 pic in your signature, and now I see were it came from. Also, I saw that you mentioned the cost a couple of times in the $30k range...think of it this way: You could've spent the same amount on a new Challenger SRT8, but instead, you have a unique and "new" Fish which makes you a connoisseur.

Thanks bkbond12!

Yep....feels pretty good to bring one back from the brink.

You're right, that money could have bought me something that
I would not enjoy near as much as this car.

Thank you for the compliments!
