A toast...
Just finished some major (for my skill level) stuff and I’m happy to say I’ve never been happier with my oldwing. I inherited Ramblin’ Rose 4 years ago and immediately fell in love. She was all dressed up in bags, fairings, and tow hitches then. We’ve been through a lot already but it makes me really happy to say she’s nakeder and healthier than ever. And it’s 1000% thanks to the resources, expertise, and support of this group. I’d have never undertaken half of the fixes and projects I did without the guidance of you fine folks. She’s not anywhere close to some of the impeccable restos and mods I’ve seen here and there’s a lot I still want to do, but I absolutely love my 78, now more than ever.
Cheers, y’all!
Cheers, y’all!
