Alliance Review Article

A little longer than planned but it's finally done.   The guys stopped in Alliance for friends and family to see it there for an hour on June 16th before delivering it to VA.  See pics below in front of Grove's Appliance.  It drives as nice as it looks and the pictures speak for themselves.  A few special pictures at the top from Father's day, June 18th, 2006.  Take care all...

Thanks one last time to the guys that made this happen - CASCO.  John Lonsberry, CASCO's restoration shop manager, and his crew are miracle workers.  Last summer, after having seen it, a few folks asked, "Is it really restorable"?  Well, "anything's restorable"... although this car was in pretty bad shape.  You just have to find the right shop and be prepared for the bills.  It got a little painful near the end but there was far more work that needed to be done once they got into it than was originally anticipated.  Dad would have loved it.
