Nope no build sheet. Perseverance is not the word my wife uses. She says stubborn. However that is tempered by economics.
When it became clear that we were going to have to sell the car I most likely could not have gotten more than parts car prices for it the way it was, so i had to rebuild the engine so........... In hindsight I did have other options but they were not obvious at the time. It's all because of an incident with a 1939 Ford coupe that I bailed out on because I thought I had bigger problems than it tured out I had. I swore then that no car was ever going to beat me again. I think I have a line on a buyer for it but will have to wait and see. Just as an aside, I did sell my wifes car.
There is no blog for it because It already well into reconstruction before I came out here, but it was a good sale, I would have liked to have gotten more for it but cei la vie. In any event here is apicture of it
