Tim, welcome to the Stovebolt and congrats on your father/son project. Sounds like you really have got a good one to start with.
Lots of knowledge and folks willing to share. Just remember to ask questions in the most appropriate forums for the best answers and results. Good luck and see you around the garage.

I made a trip to Carlisle and then "dipped" down to Stovebolt HQ to see if anyone was still there from the Homecoming. My son came with me and I was able to catch up with a few Bolters (most had left just an hour before I got there) but did learn a few things about navigating this site!
