I'm tired of being a "chevy" guy anyway.
I believe that it's God's car and he allows me to take care of it for Him.
The glory is all His.

Sweet!!! Thats awsome...as far as the work to bring it back up...
I bought a 71 SS Chevelle that had been sitting for a few...
Long story short..I had to have then engine pulled and torn apart and cleaned out and put back together...Gas and oil and whatever else sitting in the motor for about 4 years...Eww...I sure miss that car though.

this car was started and ran once a month till january of this year so i am not looking at that big of a project except cleaning it according to my sisters best friend (she is the one giving me the car you can't see inside because the windows are so dirty and the car was meticuosly cared for before that the body and paint are in great shape, i'm figuring spark plugs and an oil change and some carb cleaner maybe belts and hoses and possibly tires...tobin
