Re: 1940 Ford Family Owned Coupe
Man, what a great story! You are very lucky to have this car--a car that a lot of us would cherish.

Re: Broken crankshaft. Worth saving the rest?

Re: External condenser
Pretty annoying. I tried to send him an email using the email addy shown on his website and it comes back "undeliverable". Seems like he's been hacked.
