I'm sure you'll put the funds to good use, Charlie. Personally, I'd go with the '38 Pontiac, but either way I'm sure you'll do it justice.Nick

No long process. I sent pictures and specks on car. he left Springfield Il. about noon got here kicked the tires drove it his wife said OK, paid me the asking price, and we put it on the trailer. Today it is in a new garage. I think the next will be the truck. My 93 is getting tired.Charlie

I admire you guys who can build them and then turn loose of them. I tend to get sentimental and keep building, driving and rebuilding until some idiot takes it out by doing something stupid like running a red light and plowing into me!
I've had my '37 since college and my '66 F100 at 4.5yrs is destined to be a long-termer, too. Heck, I'd probably still be driving the '64 Galaxie I inherited from my dad if it hadn't met the demise described above!
You did nice work on the Nova, Charlie. I'm sure the new owner is thrilled to have it in his garage! Excited to watch the evolution of the truck & the Pontiac!"It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out." - H.G. Wells

I'm kinda in the same boat as Randy on this one but I'm glad if you're glad. However, I hope it doesn't haunt you like my past '35 4dr Master Deluxe and '55 Chebbie does me. Maybe I can find a support group if it gets too bad, huh? LOL
Now, get busy on the ones that are left to help ease the pain, OK?

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
