I have a 53 chevy 3100 and am also working on a 50 f1 foooord the guys on
one of the foooord sites real go serious bananas when you mention chevy
motor or chevy anything. I am glad that this group makes a joke of the
whole thing. On another bonusbuilt fooord site anything constructive
goes and everyone helps out. This is a fine group, thanks keep up the
good work Ed ke6bnl So.Calif.
