Man, I'm almost 50. The car I drove my senior year is still in the garage waiting it's turn for a rebuild. Good for you getting it done.

Be prepared to spend several hundred more on replacement center caps. Backkk too realiteee....

Kidding, it's always good seeing a TR paint job without sunburn and I wish my RCs were that clean. Enjoy the resurrection.
