Yes, JW, that is the quote that came to mind to me also! Fishin'Jim says he has 'real difficulty with people looking at the past using today's standards'; I get that, but, at the end of the day, what else do we have to look at the past? That's part of the whole vintage car world - looking at yesteryear with 'today's eyes' and having appreciation for and, sometimes, criticism and questions about, how things were done. It's like a machinist or engineer looking at some of the things that get posted on P.I., and having a broader, more educated overview and posting their thoughts. I always welcome instructive and correcting points of view from those who either know more or have 'done it before'. Perception is reality and for better or for worse, our take on things is borne of the experiences of our time. I think that's how we move forward and improve the state of the art of anything. BTW, was it just me, or did anyone else think those ladies looked like they were all on their Iphones?!!?! LOL Chris
