Thanks for saving one that would have rotted into the ground otherwise.

Thanks for the compliment. The car was sitting in the woods for 14 years and never moved. Loaded to the gills with junk throughout. Other people have asked me, "why I started with such a disaster? Why not have started with a car in better condition?" I paid nothing for the car, just 180 bucks and 2 months to get a title through the "Mechanics Lean" process in my state. After I received a clear title and found out it was a non numbers matching vehicle, I decided to do her my way. I thought what the hell, I'm up for a challange, I always wanted to die broke, so I'm well on my way and loving every minute of it.
Well almost every minute!! Yes, it is wonderful to have a supportive wife as well. Bob
