Thanks for all the words of encouragement guys, I really appreciate it. My boys are at the perfect age to help me with a project like this. The next project car that I do, will probably be one of theirs. Wayne, please let me know. I would enjoy meeing you and showing off the car...I hope it runs by then. My goal is to have it done by the end of summer.

I would love to see it and meet you. My wife's mother lives in Auburn. I'm sure you'll have it running by the time we're out next.

It has been a few years since we were out there because of the kids, but we're well overdue. If we gain a little more certainty in the economy we'll probably arrange something for the last quarter of the year.

Yeah, I know. The main thing is gaining stability. We should hit the bottom around late summer. I don't anticipate things getting better until Q1 of next year, but at least they should be stable after the summer.

Excellent work Mark! Looks like a very good start. We would love to hear a clip of the engine when you get it started....
