72 442 Conv., new to the forum

Hi to all, my 442 arrives tomorrow, can't wait to drive her with the top down. I found the car in Western NY, thanks Ray, you did an amazing job, the car was a total frame off restoration, with the body on a rotisserie, the owner provided me with over 80 photos of the process.

Very Nice!!!!! I think you've got one heck of a drop top there

If you get a chance could you post the build date code on the cowl tag? It should be two numbers (month) and a letter (week) Example 04B = April 2nd week

Thanks and welcome aboard

she was delivered today and the vintage plates added, now I have to wait for the reg to be returned from DMV to actually drive her on the road, re-washed after a 5 hour trip in the rain on the car carrier and suffering from road grim.
