TFX shipped the car from Minneapolis to Toronto, Ontario. It then got moved to this truck and delivered to us here in Ottawa, Ontario. It arrived on Wednesday, September 15, 1999. Here are some pictures.
They ship for NASCAR a lot |
The truck was HUGE! (The driver Phil was not) |
The anticipation of what lay inside almost killed me! |
This was my first peek of the car... |
Oh man, it's beautiful! |
Phil and my neighbour Bruce pushed while I steered. |
Good thing Bruce was there! (he's a big old car buff...that's his old Ford Fairlane above) |
We pushed the car into the driveway, Lisa steered the way! |
A little dusty, but very cool! |
I popped the hood and here's what I saw... |
A good shampoo was needed... |
The car has hardly any rust, a small bit here. |
The original tachometer has been replaced with this Sun model |
Rough, but the car is 99.9% complete |
The carpet was bad, smelly too! |
Lots of mildew growing...bad place to store tires Jay! |
On Friday we took out the seats and starting cleaning! |
Before we knew it, half the car was dismantled! |
It got dark and we had to work with flashlights... |
The ripped headliner was dusty and hard to sew, but Lisa fought with it and won! |
I swear the car had not been cleaned since it was sitting on the showroom floor. |
Lisa and Spray Nine did wonders! |
The floor is really good, except the front floor pans. They'll have to be replaced. |
Gotta love that view...it's so spacious back here! |
