Thanks Ryan for your thoughts. Those of us that do respect the design and construction of these vehicles built in a period when craftsmanship was respected and understand the beauty of maintenance, repair and care are a rare breed. The United States and the World today are just too filled with folks who now believe the notion that we should move fast, change for change sake (think of computers on that one) and keep it fast and disposable. My research in WWII and the leaders tells us that it was a philosophy that was necessary to win. Afterward, however, industry was just too tooled to change. I will conclude with one last thought...if the lights ever go out, those poor folks are going to want to know what we know, and they are going to want it fast...Sadly, for many of them it will be too late.
