Something magical about driving that car. The Gyro-Matic transmission is a trip!  The driver is my friend and this is his first restoration project, and I'm glad I can help him out. 

I did cut the part where my buddy and I start asking each other weather or not we torqued the lug nuts or not.

Everybody forgets something sometime.  After I put my A back together, I drove over an hour before the front shocks fell off.  Not bad for finger tight... :)

Yep, green tinted gauges. Well mostly anyway, they have faded quite a bit.
