I still have a long list of things to get done on it but as I've mentioned over the years, I'm shooting to drive it to Hershey. If all goes well it seems like this might actually be the year for it!!

I now have 2-year-old twins, a new 147-year-old house and barn and a few extra acres to maintain. I just made up my mind in the past few months that it was time that this delivery got the attention it has deserved for years. I put a 59AB engine in it temporarily but I have some other plans with some interesting parts that hopefully can all work out over the winter. I've stuck with the plan to not use anything on it that couldn't have been found in 1948 or earlier which is the last that this was driven.

Anyways, just figured I'd post an update.
Thanks

These kids are sooo neat!!! Great pictures!!!
