Weaz - I have several hundred pictures of the restoration, but don't know how to load them here!

If you have one of you cruising in the Darrin, send it to me and I'll post it up for you. We'd all love to see you doing a victory lap.

Weaz, I'll try to get one on Monday. I just noticed, you offer no Darrin T-shirts! Now that the car is "ready", it's been selected for a special exhibit at the 3 day Syracuse Nationals at the New York State Fairgrounds, in mid July!

You know, I was working on a Darrin t-shirt, but I couldn't get it right...

I'll have to try again!

Thanks Weaz!  She looks pretty good on "the big screen".

Good morning! Thanks for the kind words! I've had her to a couple of cruise nights and took a trophy this past Sunday at a 300 car show. The response to this car is phenominal, way more than any of the other 46 cars in the collection! Tomorrow I'll be setting up to display her at a 3 day show, with approximately 7000 cars, so I guess I know what I'm doing for the weekend!

Thanks again, Gary.

Darrin 145 looks super. Great job!!!! I am currently reassembling my car (353) and may need some advise. Would you be willing to provide some mentoring? Thanks in advance.

Hi Bill - Thanks for the compliment! Advice is always free, it may not be the best, but the price is right! I am not a Kaiser or a Darrin expert, but, there are many on this forum with a great deal of knowledge of these cars. Feel free to ask all the questions you want to, everyone on this forum knows that I did! Someone will chime in sooner or later with the answers to your questions or advice or whatever. Now, get out in the garage and get to work on that Darrin! Oh, by the way, where in the world are you located?

Gary, cold and wet in Syracuse, NY.

Gary,
I am in Kentucky and we had a skiff of snow this morning. Talk with you soon.
Thanks,
Bill
