That’s great and hope the project goes well. Hopefully it doesn’t end up mired down in red tape or committees that don’t cooperate when it comes down to things like money....
Speaking of money, the price tag for the restoration mentioned in the article tags it’s at $500k plus. Sounds like a lot to me, especially considering the fact that they want to use as much volunteer labour as possible and donations from various sources.
As for the engine, well, I am certain that this has been abridge crossed before. Are they wanting an exact restoration or is this something that could have a couple Detroit’s put into it at a fraction of the cost?
