It had roughly 100K. I need to tear into it and see what's salvageable. I just don't have time right now.
If it goes into anything I have right now, it will be either the 62 Caddy I just inherited or the 56 F100 I have. Either be has ample room for...
Impressive workmanship.
I'll eventually break it down, but my shop is being moved from one town to another right now. Let's just play worst case scenario. Let's assume I...

They do make digital convertors now. Not sure on the quality they produce, but I am investing in some of this technology to save old photos etc in...
