that is so cool!

of course, you could rebuild the engine in a "T" in the frame in about 3 or 4 hrs

It is cool to find those little pieces of history. I have a few invoices from when my dad first started our shop. Labour was $2.50 per hour in 1952.

My grandpa died a few years back, while cleaning out his house we found dozzens of old newspapers dated from the 20's and 30's. It was very interesting reading through some of the arcticles and seeing the price advertisements for various goods and services.

We had found bills my father filled out from the 40's, he worked at the dealership when he was in High School.
