sure am glad someone is movin forward, cant say im not use to days or weeks without power though, my power usually goes out when other people need it, that part didnt make the news though. ... happens all the time.  Thank goodness we got lots of snow though, it helped in food preservation.
Im just happy to see your getting it all together and making some progress, there are still boat loads of people who still dont have a pot to piss in up there and its depressing. 

Is the birdie ok?

Thanks Chris, i have a forum friend that offered to undertake bringing the car back from the brink, so once its all settled i may take you up on your kind and generous offer.  Thanks so much!

Car was flooded and had water inside up to the lower dash panel.  Not sure what can be done, but a fellow member here with amazing skills has offered up his services and i am working out details on that with him.

It would be nice to see the car saved. I don't like to think about that much salt water being inside a classic car.

Looks like you're updating some of the wiring while the walls are open.
