Thanks, good stuff!

You know, I used to think that was an outstanding resource. It still is ok, but all the text that gave major descriptions has been removed and made it less useful for me.

old school kid....

here are some pics of Bessie.... she sat in a field for about 15 years... i put it together in about 6 months (2 years ago) doing the bare minimum so i could drive it. I am currently tearing her back down and redoing many things (the right way) I will post a build thread as soon as I get a little more completed.
