Watch out for Murphy! He lurks around every corner!! It is good that you are in a family that appreciates cars. Sounds like ya'll can handle just about anything that pops up.

Good to see a young guy who appreciates this stuff. Good find, and sounds like you earned it. There will very likely be setbacks, but with help you'll get through them. Welcome aboard.

haha well that is of coarse a "hopefully" type plan. I don't expect it to go as planned but you need to start somewhere right?

And yeah Bob there is always the "setbacks" which we have already had fair share so far. Things get more complicated when you fix a little problem and notice a bigger problem.

As far a handling everything that pops up, the neighbor who stored it and got us the deal, is a master at anything car related. He gives us the "provision" we need.

Thanks for all the comments!
