Three GMC 302s--including one (320 cid) that (as of 30 November 2007) actually runs, and sounds soooooo good--one Chevrolet 216 (running well); one Chevrolet 235 (not running); one 218 Oldsmobile flathead (not running). The daily drivers in our household are inline fours: a 1994 Mazda Miata and a 2007 Toyota Prius. We have long since shed the last v-thing, a 1999 Ford F150 that belonged to the Executive Committee.
The '52 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe four-door with 216 belongs to the Executive Committee, and has therefore received priority in "restoration" work--paint and chrome--and maintenance. For years, the Committee's vehicle was the only one running and on the road, aside from the daily drivers. Her interest and pride in her own vehicle has, however, given the Committee patience with other projects and the parts thereof. Occasionally the Committee meets with herself and issues Summary Judgments about "too much clutter" and the like, but in general the Domestic Tranquility has been preserved by assiduous attention to the Committee's priorities, albeit at some sacrifice to the General Welfare of other projects. Yet such attentions assure that other projects can proceed and, eventually, even be completed. We live in hope.
God's Peace to you.
