Steve and 4wrdlkrs,
I'm glad I could finally bring Steve into the Forwardlook fold.
I'm glad I could "donate" the car to Steve, I'm sure that this car will
test your "abilities" to do wonders on cars. It sounds like she will be a
real great driver for you Steve, once you get all those modern
conveniences on her.. and you'll have one of the best looking cars around
too!
All the best Steve, keep us updated on her progress!
