He only likes ones with big bore /4 engines

I'm willing to let him try finishing a non-rusty /6 conversion project...I know of one about 20' from where I'm sitting right now.

Sometimes it's about the process, not the money. I had an offer to take and restore my Auto Red Bug (1926) but the folks on this board convinced me to do it myself. It's still in pieces in my garage, waiting for my retirement (and I am looking forward to restoring it then).

Nope! Not enough money available (even at the mint) to try that. Sign of the cross, move along. . .
