Ricki makes an excellent point and one that applies to any skill trade 
not just our "hobby".  Finding people who have the dedication,drive, and 
most of all encyclopedic knowledge of the subject matter is what will be 
really missed.  So all youse old farts and fartettes that have that 
knowledge should write all this down to be given forward to the 
"younger" generation.  I'm in the process of doing that just on my own 
two LBCs my son will inherit. All the modifications, superseded parts 
that don't match the original in the parts book, and the idiosyncrasies 
of the car and its maintenance(not to mention fettling needed to get 
bootleg repro parts to fit). Trouble is there never enough time to 
document all this knowledge.  So young folk, make it a point to learn 
things! You are the experts of the future.  Ok of my soap box.
