Pardon my dust!
The Wexler Garage
In 1994 I bought a '68 Thunderbolt Super Sport from a farmer for $400 and a case of motor oil. It had a tree growing through the floor. Five years later... it still is not done. But it is close! Follow the restoration here.

| 15 Oct 1997 | Pulled the engine. Found a mouse family. Relocated them. |
| 9 Jan 1998 | Sandblasted the frame. Neighbors not thrilled. |
| 1 Feb 1998 | New floor pans welded in. Goodbye tree. |
| 16 Apr 1998 | Engine rebuilt: .030 over, new cam, sounds like thunder. |
| 26 Jul 1998 | Paint! Candy apple red. Took 3 weekends and my whole garage is now red too. |
| 15 Aug 1998 | Chrome bumpers back from the plater. Blinding. |
| 21 Sep 1998 | First drive around the block. Wife cried. I cried. The mouse family did not comment. |
