Thanks for the welcome and the advice, Chip, and for the encouragement Coffeeman.
I've re-posted in the HiPo Shop which is probably a more appropriate place.
Now, Chip, you say that at 65 you're finishing a 6-year project. Way to go, but I don't want to wait that long! ha, ha.
I don't mind tackling the cosmetics like interior, new bed, glass etc., but I just don't have the talent (or the inclination) to tackle motor, tranny, suspension, brakes, etc.
That's why I'm looking for a good shop that has done AD 3100s before.
Thanks and hope you all have a beautiful Christmas.
