60 degrees today so I just had to drag the vert out.
The snow, on the ground, is a Buzz kill, though.
Maybe you will quit bitching about the weather for awhile,,,,,, that is till you go back to Hawaii!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to steal Jeff's thread. 
Just got back from a nice cruise. Used up all the gas I had but could have just kept going! It does turn heads. Got a few "Nice car" comments yelled out. 
Can't wait to see the 63 out in the sun light. Got lots to do yet, progress stopped on that one.

Nice ride Bob...........
Great to see that some of you are enjoying this nice weather. Love that color Bob!
Nice car, did you restore that also???
Thanks guys. 
It can be tough sometimes.
Yep. That car started out as a $500 dollar car I found sitting in someone's back yard. Had 56K original miles but had seen better days due to age. Was originally brown metallic with a tan vinyl top and interior, cloth bench seat, AT on column with a 307. I drove it for a long time with that equipment but the 307 got tired and started burning oil so I thought a nice 454 was in order. Located one in a junkyard in a 74 Caprice. It was the guys on here that talked me through the rebuild process as I did the job myself and never rebuilt one before. I located a rebuilt 12 bolt posi 4.10 and bought a brand new M21 with overdrive. This is the fastest car I own, dropping the hammer is NOT for the faint of heart. 
I always like the hugger orange and white combination so that was an easy choice. I did have to give some extra thought on having a white interior but I promised myself that I would keep it clean!
Well, guess I rambled enough. One day I plan to write up a web page for each of my cars with all the juicy details and pics as they progressed over the years. (like the wrecker thread on this site)
Thanks for asking. Telling this brought back some good memories.
