Sir, Way to go! I know the feeling too. Mine took 3 yrs to bring back to life and I use it each and every day that it does not rain! Otherwise my "old green truck" is garage kept while I concentrate on funding the 2nd antique vehicle I'm bringing back to life ('52 'Burb). Can't wait to meet up with you - Hop on over to the ODSS site and see the activities on-going. Thanks for your service too! I support the Army as a civilian employee at APG, MD.
