Craig... you shoulda seen it before I got "started" cleaning & organizing... It was bad.... we moved, everything got "dumped" in the shop , then insulated & sheet rocked around everything, what a mess... it's getting better.

Shane,

I'd have a tough time parting with that Olds... it's one of the engines that was given to me by my grandpa....

But thanks for the offer to help me clean up!

Jim
