The 6v to 12v conversion doesn't seem to be all that difficult. That opens up some possibilities.

Amazing what the application of a few Yanqui Dollars and some effort can accomplish. Glad you got your car running. That's a satisfying feeling.

Went to the Nationals yesterday, just to see what was there. The weather was kinda crappy and I didn't feel like wrestling Fred. Good thing, too, unless there was one Hell of a lot that I didn't know about what was going on about storage and parking at the hotel.
Saw an acquaintance from TX, met some folks from MI and WI and VA. I counted 26 cars present.

Some of those old school junkyard proprietors were real characters, and I suspect they got into the auto salvage business because they didn't have to deal with many people, and the ones they did deal with were on their own terms.
In 1968, Dad bought a '41 60 Special and ran outta gas on it near the end of disassembly. There were a lot of reasons for that, but that's another story. Anyway, he was working at the Army base 25 miles from the house and he'd pass a couple of good old salvage yards. One had a couple of Cads in it, but the guy was unwilling to part with much of it. We went down there one Saturday when I was about 11 or 12, and I remember seeing a pile of model A differentials just sitting there. Literally, a pile of them. Dad always said that the old guy was "in love with his junk." Hard to find a good salvage yard any more.
