Very nice! What is all that space under the bonnet? I long for the days when I could actually recognize some of the components under the hood.

Truck looks well-restored. The engine compartment is a breath of fresh air, and I love the wood inset bed. I bet he will appreciate the photos.

He could not wait to e-mail a copy of #1 to his kids.

I found a bottle of very nice wine on the seat of our car.

Yep!!!! So nice to see a stock 'plant in there instead of some tricked out small-block V8. Is that the 292?

A far cry from what it looks like under the hood of my car; both 6 cylinders.

My first car was a '62 Ford Fairlane, 170 cid I-6. The only thing I had to climb under for on, an oil change, was to pull the drain plug - even the filter war reachable from on top.

Amen... I rebuilt the head on a '67 AMC Rambler American a few years ago (199 I6)... from the time I lifted the hood until the time I put the head on my work-bench was about 15 minutes! Compare that to changing plugs in my Ford Ranger: 2 hours!
