Carl,

I am also looking forward to spring when I can resume painting so I can get 
the engine completed and paint the body tub.

You are correct that one the tub is mounted and aligned on the frame, the fun 
and questions really start.

But it is the most rewarding time for me during any restoration. As you work 
each day, you can see actual progress as the parts are assembled and the 
"project" becomes a treasure.

Bob
