I usually check this thread every so often because I like old Fords even though I am working very slowly on a plastic SBC Model A. I like to see what IC2 is up to but I don't really know the rest of the folks here. I am only writing now because Brent sends me some strange page every so often sort of offering me a chance to unsubscribe. I am doing OK at the moment but last year I had a long, long bout with a cold that would just not go away during most of February. My second book is finished now so I should get back to the car project but I am trying to get through the winter without doing that fever routine again. Sometimes ideas come slowly but now my goal is to hook up the battery with jumper cables for a possible quick disconnect, turn on the key (not the starter) and test the wiper, lights, turn signals and radio one by one. That way I can trouble-shoot the tangle of wires under my dash. We still have some days here in the 50-60 degree range so I can fool around when the weather is mild. I considered insulating the whole garage so I could heat it but it is so tight in there that it would be a major clean out just to clear the walls for insulation and paneling plus the expense of the materials. Maybe if/when I finish the car I can insulate the garage but then why would I need the insulation? It is the Chicken/Egg problem all over again. Anyway the only thing I am trying to do here is satisfy Brent that I still read the Forum even if I do not post often and to ask IC2 if he did move to Virginia? I still look at this thread and wish I could find a '37 Ford somewhere. I can't believe I let my wife talk/coerce me into selling my '40 convert project. if I had held it until I retired I would have had enough funds to complete it but as it was we were still in the era of kids braces and college expenses so I let the whole thing go as a rolling project for $800. Hind-sight is 20/20!
