I my defense everything, except the drive train has been restored to original condition, with no modifications to the body or frame to prohibit the retrofit of the original drive train.
I thank everyone here on the list for the five years of information I have gathered. I am glad the restoration is over, and that I can dive the car in confidence, and of course in style.
