That's the kind of stuff that keeps you awake the night before a big purchase!

mickmate - that muncie-nailhead adapter on your webpage looks pretty neat. Did you fab that?

What can you tell us about the actual flood damage? Was this car a partial or full immersion? Salt or fresh water? Any pictures of the car before they cleaned it up for the sale? Got to love a car with history.....Wish you the best with the restoration.

Sincerely,
