Still waiting for my engine. Meantime I rebuilt my radio (all new caps and some new tubes). I used a great vibrator replacement with circuit protection and am very happy with its performance. Earlier I bought an off the shelf electronic vibrator and it immediately blew even though I changed out the buffer cap. I also added Bluetooth to the stock radio...works great! To do this I added a switch and a 3.5mm socket to the back of the case where I can switch from the tuner to a remote Bluetooth receiver and back.

Can't wait to get this ride back on the road and pull in to a cruise night playing 1940's radio out of the real car radio.
