    Waaaaay too much fun!

    Ok, all back together and the horn blows no matter which side of the horn button you hit. I don't think it worked this good in 1970!

    Trying to do something on the car every day. Even if it's just cleaning a bolt.

    Tomorrow I'm going to try and drop the tank and swap out the sender

    Update on the hood tach-

    Scott pm'ed me and said the meter movement is fine but the circuit board is no good. Someone had been in there and ran a separate power wire. He's going to make it operate like it did from the factory and repaint the faded needle.

    So I'm hoping I can get it back and reunite it with the car by next week

    Darren,

    IN what order would you rank those 3?

    Chris, the Don Ramon is the only one I tried from this trio. I am rating the Don Ramon on a scale of 1 to 10, I’m giving it a 9.9. It’s the best reposado I’ve had. It goes down smooth, leaves a little bit of heat on the pallet, finishes very mild with great flavor. The write up said look for chocolate notes as a finish and I would have to agree.

    I would love to be Fred’s sous chef anytime!
    This second tequila is very good, it was wrote up as having citrus notes which I would 100 hundred percent agree with. Another one which I would purchase again.

    We will have to move the operation to Fred’s house probably he has a much better kitchen

    So Jason, how long before that original paint and hood stripes drives you crazy? How far are you going with this car?
