Thanx Craig,
My wife and I are looking forward to getting it put back in mint condition and enjoying her for years to come. I am 2.5 hours from the Packard Plant in Detroit and would love to drive her up and get some pics of it at the factory before they tear it all down. I am also only 10 miles from the Studebaker plant in South bend.
I have heard stopping can be an issue. I am rebuilding the Tredlevac now. I have read that pitting in the piston can is not an issue, but I am not convinced of this. I am afraid mine may not be serviceable. I use a dipping solution called Evaporust to remove rust from my components and then ran a light hone in the bore. The pitting is a concern.
