Just wanted to say hello and share what I have been doing, and why I have not been active much here lately.

Great project. Fun for life. Obviously flood, submerged.

Could be easier to go this way:

Holy cow! I hope you had baggies and labels for all of the miscellaneous little screws and fittings you undoubtedly have many of. You really dove in head first for that one! Let us know when you get it all wrapped up, it looks like you've made tremendous progress.

Simply incredible...I don't know that I've every seen someone actually rebuild one of these on his own. Well done Johnny...can't wait to see it running and complete!

Default How did it drive before compared to the A8L W12?

I'll put it into my wish list when my kids are done with Colleges...

Cheers,

Louis

After looking at the great progress photos while enjoying my morning coffee... I have to admit that I now have a splitting headache. Tackling that project would be like, at least to me, putting a 747 back together without the owner's manual... and without the aid of a hanger! Genuinely remarkable!
