That is a great story! I am very happy for you and the car. What I love about all the folks at C3VR is the passion that we have for these cars. I have said it before, it is a calling. Everyone here helps ensure the  preservation of these iconic machines. You have taken on the responsibility to preserve this particular car for another generation. Best of luck and most of all, enjoy every minute if it.
