I don't know that I would go so far as to say that a restoration of an old car changes THE world - but it certainly changes my world for the better grin

Not sure it will be back on the road in '15 - but the engine will definitely run this year.

My challenge with progress on the car continues to be the dirty work. Somewhere along the way the car was given a road-tar rustproof job. Trouble is road-tar gets brittle and then water gets behind it. I am at war with the stuff and I am wielding only a putty knife . . . which makes for a slog.
