Just cruising the threads as I am new to it. Beautiful car. You've had some nice comments about how you conduct your business too. Glad I found those, now I don't feel like I'm getting my cherry busted. Let's hope we have a long and mutually rewarding relationship.

I was hoping you'd chime in Tom. Tell us what you've been up to with the car, how has the motor held up, etc.

I can't believe it is almost 10 years ago that I bought this car and started the restoration.

I have been doing 3-4 track events each year. The car is exceptionally well dialed in and a blast to drive on the track. However, I drive on the street every opportunity I have. Nice long mid-week drives through the CT countryside, with little to no traffic and open pipes, are almost as much fun as the track.

I have probably put 15-20,000 miles on it since the restoration. The entire car has been trouble free. The engine continues to pull strongly. The only maintenance has been annual oil & filter changes, valve adjustments and brake fluid flushing. The PMO's are flawless. I typically get two seasons out of the Hoosiers.

I have another project in process. I am doing a concours restoration on a numbers matching '70E that I bough at an estate auction. I plan to start a separate thread on that soon.

Here are some pics to enjoy

I have the good fortune to be local to Tom and this car just exudes total quality, a testament to Tom and the crew at Auto Associates. Am looking forward to seeing his next, stock project. John
