Glad to be the middle man, Jerry.

Ya' gotta' admire the new owner's approach, not doing a restoration on it to fix all of the ravages of time, but if it were mine I would try to get the old girl running again, change the fluids & seals to hold things in place, put some new glass in it to keep the weather out and get it where it could drive on & off of a trailer, and around the grounds of some of the street rod gatherings, like NSRA, Good Guys, Back to the 50's, etc. What a story it tells!!
