Hey, I'm not a RAMVA regular, but I lurk from time to time.

Just got her Sunday, not a bad score for the East coast. First _real_ project, so I'm sure I'll be posting a bunch, bugging (no pun intended) you guys with my stupid questions.

This weekend I'm just going to clean it up, and think about taking the body off the pan, just to get all the problem areas sanded and painted (I just ordered some MasterSeriesCT). Then, on to the engine...

Anyone know a good place to pick up the Bentley ?? Everywhere I see it, it's at least $70 for the early bugs. Oh well...it's an investment, right.

Ok, that's enough out of me for now.. I'm just excited!

.........Congratulations Brian! Where on the East Coast are you?

.....BTW, that $70 for the Bentley manual is a great investment.

Thanks!! I'm in North Carolina. I'll probably order the manual once I've dropped the engine out and I can't wait to take it apart any longer! haha. My baywindow manual only cost me $9! :-p

Congratulations, Brian

You might find John S. Henry's site useful, he's been there, done that. Most important, he took pitchers and wrote it down!
