Matt,

You have a beautiful car, congratulations. By the way my brother-in-law knows a mechanic that may have worked at Hicks Chevrolet back in the sixties. If I get any more info I will send you a PM.

Bobby

Mine sure didn't!

That's a beautiful car above, mine's had a hard life! Born on April Fools Day, I bought it 4/4/2015. But I'm bringing this one back from the dead, last registered '04, I will have it on the road next summer!
