well, the temps have been up, and most of the roads are starting to get cleaned up, so this past weekend I pulled my beloved 73 out of storage, gave her an oil change and a good bath.

it felt great to get it out on the road again.

hehe, I never really thought my car rode like a boat, but after driving my short bed Z71 pickup all winter then getting into the Delta....WOW. although I think the rear air shocks lost some air over the winter, so I'm sure it'll stiffen it up a little once I pump them back up.


anyone else that stores their car take it out yet?

I don't store my Delta but it has been in the driveway since last may waiting for me to finish the engine project. I finllay drove it last week after getting a new Edelbrock 750 performer carb, it sure is nice to drive it again. It feels very unfamiliar, like when you buy a car and aren't used to it yet. I have been driving my little '76 f85 since last May and there is a world of difference between the two!

I know the feeling, picked up my 88 at the harbour last wednesday, what a great ride! Driven it around 300 miles since I got it. It is resting now though, since i'm on a 2 week springbreak to Florida.

If any of you know of or have a couple of headlight bezels lying around for it please let me know! They were pretty pitted and in fact the only visible apperance drawback.

I couldn't find replacemtns to save my life, I ended up having them re-plated.

best of luck to ya finding replacements, but you'll probably have to open your wallet and have them re done

Yea...I would have to say that too...have someone sand em' down and re-chromed...

Yes I want to get them replated, but they don't replate them in Norway, and if I take them off and send them over to the U.S for replating the car will sit a long time without the bezels. So I am looking for someone I can buy over here, have them replated and swap them with the ones sitting on when I get the replated ones.

look on ebay??? If they dont have it there...

I know when they don't have it there they are pretty hard to come by. Got an offer from a junkyard out in Arizona, they wanted $125 each in used condition a little to steep for me....

Well its no Olds, but my dad just got his 1992 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 XLH out after a oil change, new battery, new plugs, and a quick cleaning. Was kinda nice to hear it running after looking at it sit since late November.
