"Do you think we can fix this heap?" - Tom and Travis - "I dunno but we'll give it all we've got."

**Tom "Curly" Hoover - The car was dissasembled and the body work was started. - Kent Kettering**

**The engine chores were handled by Dail Coppom - She's ready to paint!**

**The car was driven to the paintbooth for application of the cranberry red paint by Kent Kettering**

**WE DID IT!!!**

The restoration was started on 6/4/1997 and completed by 9/20/97. Incredible!!

Travis' Uncle purchased the car new in '72, it sat for about 10 years after the car was vandalized by fire, destroying the top and most of the interior. Travis decided to buy the car from his Grandmother and restore it over Summer Break from college. His father Tom took the summer off work and the 2 of them worked day and night to finish the car in time for Travis to drive it to school for the start of Fall semester.

Thanks to Grandma, Kent Kettering and Dail Coppom for all their help.
