46 Burb Congrats on a fine restoration. Now enjoy the fruits and drive the wheels off the thing !! You give inspiration to the rest of us who still are in mid stream of the project.

Beautiful. Get a friend to take a picture of your grin when you take it for a drive.

Nice job, Jim.

I see you've been pretty busy! Lots of progress since I was by to see it. Did you use the fenders you had on the wall or did you find different ones?

I hope to see you driving it around the area!

Fenders were painted when you were here. I had them hiding in the basement(the one my wife is GLAD to get back)

No on the running boards. we'll see how the scratching goes.

Thanks for all the compliments. I will be taking the burb around town as soon as the license and such are taken care of.

I have someone putting a custom exhaust on it soon and I still have to do some brake and clutch adjusting and touch ups but am REALLY excited to show it to the other folks who looked at it and said it was too far gone and show it to the PO. \Thanks again'

Jim,

That is just beautiful!!!!! I don't think I have ever seen another burb fixed up anywhere near as nice. Congradulations.
