Wow, thanks! And thanks again for the other comments. I agree, it's all about fun and I don't think I could ever have much fun in a car I was afraid to get a little dirty or let someone touch.
One of my other friends just bought this 1954 Chevy Delray tonight so he can drive it to the back to The 50s Show tomorrow.
So we encouraged him to see if it would do a burnout... It's got a mild 327 in it and needs plenty of work but it's a nice, solid car.
Good times!
