An Honor!!

I would like to pay tribute to a vendor I purchased most of my parts from. The Paddock at Knightstown, Indiana. They were such a wonderful company to deal with. I was so pleasantly surprised in the spring of 2006.
I received my catalog and found my Baby Blue had graced page 43. What an honor!!...

Unfortunately some 5 years later, the economy forced them out of business. I have however used Classic Industries in California...

Documented

This is a list of all the parts/prices of the build of the 327/300 hp...
Note the date....11/2/1988

Also I have included a documentation of all the parts I researched for her. This was as much fun as actually doing the work...

She seems to be a crowd-pleaser. I can take her to shows and/or cruises with "Our 2nd Born ABL99" and she will hold her own...Does a heart good knowing some folks just can't be without the 60s....

Thanks Chris, That is such a nice thing to say! She is a ball to drive and watch the heads turn. Love pulling into a busy filling station and talk to the people that check her out...

Thanks Matt for checking out her thread. I was very fortunate that I took so many pictures while doing all the work. Photographing and documenting all the parts was most of the fun....
