Would greatly appreciate any help possible. This is a dad and son project. I'll be taking tons on pics and Videos. Also I'll be keeping a list of places I bought parts to pass on later. Thanks.

              What ever happened?

              I'm interested in reading about your restoration. What ever happened with it? Did you install all of the new parts, or just some? How were the results?
