    Thanks for the kind words, Dave - It was an incredible day. Almost giddy when it started up. I been doing this kinda thing for over 50 years and I still get excited when I hear one crank and fire up. This gentleman also has a 15 year old son and a 17 year old daughter that are great kids and interested in cars. His daughter has an absolutely beautiful 1977 F-150 4x4 that she drives with a big American flag flying on the back. How did I get so blessed to have these folks find me??

    You are one of those that we Kiwis call 'a good bastard'.
