'74 SE Revealed

[Gold Rush]

In October it will be seven years that I have owned my second '74 SE Brougham. Here is a photo of the first time I actually laid eyes on this car. Drove from Texas to Florida and trailered it home.

Last Friday I drove to breakfast with the guys instead if riding my Honda Goldwing Trike. They knew the restoration was nearly finished so I knew they'd appreciate seeing this result! Needless to say I was HAPPY to please them!!

Here is a link to just a sample of the journey I've taken along the way.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/134515583@N07/sets/72157677814358160

Very pretty indeed.
I see two different rear axles in the pics BYW - which one wound up in the car?

Congratulations!

Thank You for all the kind words!!! It is not show quality but I'm sure not ashamed to be seen driving it around the San Angelo streets. Get a real kick out of the reaction I'm getting so far.

Same axle in both photos.. One is down to bare metal and ready to paint. Second one is after the color in on. The car, like the one I bought new in '74, was made to run down the highway not a dragstrip. Don't know if the 400 would even spin the tires...
