Hello Everyone!
I joined the group 3 years ago and have followed a good many of the threads. Unlike many of you, I haven't owned 1960's vintage cars, and therefore do not have experience working on them. The collective knowledge in the group is priceless and I’ve learned much. Thanks to everyone for sharing your knowledge and especially to the group founders for having the foresight to preserve this information for future generations!
So, after 3 years of membership, its time for me to contribute to the group. Here is the link to a youtube video I made recently documenting a big milestone in our project. Have a look and know, each of you, through your shared posts, can take some credit.
