These comments three years old are just as true today.

I restored my car to suit me (mostly 1995). Reliability counts. Plus I want to drive mine, so that puts me out; changed radiator, fan, took out the multi-disc assembly, overdrive, improved brakes (cast iron), a wiper motor that works.

A gentleman in our local chapter passed away last year. He had a truck that the guys in our club had seen, and they all agreed he likely had $40,000 in that restoration. Let's face it, FPJ cars are a hobby, and an upside-down one at that. I guess it's a matter of taste, and desire. To me the only A might command that type of attention from me is if I ever own a Fridgidare/GE Deluxe Pickup.

I am just happy when people show up for our local chapter events in their A.
