Wow, this is great. You will keep us up to date on the project, of course.

Now, I have to tell you about a story of my dad and granddad. My father's first car was a used Model T. This would have been in the mid 1930's. Grandpa said he could buy it if he tore the engine completely apart and put it together again. So, my dad did, but when he was done, he had 4 bolts left over. He told Grandpa about the bolts, that he just couldn't figure out where they could go, and Grandpa made him tear it down again. He carefully took it apart, and still couldn't find a place for the bolts, so he put it back together and threw the bolts away. He did not tell Grandpa. My dad said that he never figured out if Grandpa had pulled one on him with four extra bolts or not.

Sadly, my granddad was killed by a hit and run driver in 1949, so I never got to know him and can't really remember him at all.
