    I drove over to Bob's house yesterday and helped him juice up the brakes. Having seen this car before Bob undertook the impossible job of restoring this POS. I am blown away by the quality and the dedication Bob has put into this amazing car. This car is simply stunning!
    WTG Bob!

    I had read Jim's above comment a day or two ago.....
    I immediately felt a rush of positive emotion.
    My finger darted to the keyboard, and I was about to express my gratitude and acknowledge Jims's generosity....
    Then I thought that a more meaningful expression would be to show exactly what Jim's generosity helped produce........
    The first picture shows the car sitting on the two remaining rear transmission support fixtures as bonded to the floor.
    It has not moved 1MM for about 5 years.........
    So today the car is now on its tires.
    Thank you, Jim...
