For those who didn't know, I've undertaken a restoration of a 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 that's been in my wife's family since 1959. Well, seems that my story got the interest of the editors at Hemmings Motor News, which is the largest collector-car marketplace (at least thats what it says on the cover - lol). Its basically some special interest stories (first 80-100 pages) and the rest classifieds for the car, truck, boat, plane, etc collectors out there (500+ pages). I've been getting it for the past several years and has been a big help getting a variety of items for my project. Well, the June 2008 issue has a page just for me, page 64 to be specific You can see my progress at www.hemmings.com/users...e/154.html

Good luck on that. Sounds like a LOT of work.

I need to pass this on to a friend of mine. He has an MGB (1972 I think) that needs work. I helped him pull the transmission about 15 years ago and he got it running for about a week then gave up on it. Needs body work and I'm sure he will have to pull the whole engine and transmission out again. Every now and then I give him a hard time about his "Paper Weight"

Wish I were mechanically inclined. Would be nice to pick up a classic and get it working and pristine. Have fun!

I posted the scan of the article in the Gallery for those wanting to take a read Signed copies will be available upon request - LOL

This is pretty cool. I'll keep tabs on your progress
