I have seen that and thanks again!
I mothballed the car for the winter Sunday afternoon after putting a few hundred miles on it for fun and to see where it was at after so many years in storage. It was hard to park it for 5 months after waiting so long to own it, but it's safe and warm for winter.
Speaking of it's time in storage, I found every piece of paper ever associated with this car. Among them was the original maintenance schedule pamphlet. On the back was a sticker from a service station stating that an oil change was done and that the front brakes were done....in 1991. The odometer reading on the sticker and the current reading are 800 miles apart. :O
Needless to say there are a few minor long term storage related bugs to work out. The biggest was the water pump I put in on Saturday morning so it didn't leak all over my friend's garage floor.
Thanks again for the congrats and the warm welcome. Spring comes late in upstate New York...it's gonna be a long 5 months.
