Thanks to everyone for pointing out my lack of location... and to think, I
pester the users of my forum to do the same!
I'm in Horn Lake, MS which is about 10 miles south of Memphis, TN.
I'm not stranger to cars with "personality" as I've had 14 Mazda RX-7s
(glutton for punishment, maybe?) with my last one being a 1988 with a V8 and
six speed out of a 1995 Camaro.
I will probably put together a site this weekend to document the restoration
process, which will be quite an undertaking.
