keep us update on the rest of the resto-but make sure you take some pic's this time, ok? hahahahaha!

GL, and have a good one.

OOhhh, My first car was a '62 Alpine.....such a sweet/nasty little car......
no power, no brakes, but looked sooo good... especially if you can find the hard top for it (found one up in Marin County for $100. back then) But when someone parks a
large Plymouth in the middle of it, things go bad.....
Your project looks really neat..can't wait to see the end result.....
I'd love to get my hands on a Tiger....but....

We try to drive it twice a week so as to keep the motor running in good condition. Part of the demise of the old one was because it sat, and we drove it up the 101 doing 80mph, so we blew it up.
