Thank for the compliments. Hang in there it is not easy but persistence beats resistance. I agree about getting the kids involved.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

On the quest to making "sylvester" better ,we are going to add autometer gauges as well as a new gauge bezel.

The big white truck showed up yesterday with some of the goodies I have been ordering lately. I am still waiting for the big brown truck in the next few days for more goodies to arrive so we could tackle it all.

Teaser Picture.....
