The Targa bar and bright trim were special ordered and it was a paint to sample. I call her Ruby as it looks darn close to the Ruby Red offered in 1964. I appreciate all of the comments!

Well, maybe I lied the other day, because she really is done now. I popped the new oil line in, and ran her around for about 20 minutes to seat the rings, now the oil is draining.

Very strong, and linear torque according to my butt-she seems to pull very nicely from low RPM's. So, now to get some miles on her, and then some dyno time so Steve W can dial her in.

A quick stop on her first drive in 3 months. Taken on my phone, so it's low res, but she looks pretty good considering she's not bathed since February:

Looks and sounds good, Ed. I've gotta get some 17s....

Love the sound and looking good!

I really really like the lift in your garage!! I don't have a lot over overhead room but I'd love to be able to pick a whole car up like you have just to do stuff. Source?? Thanks!

Thanks-It's a Bendpak mid-rise lift.
