Thanks so much to you and Garry for the warm welcome. As the car has a seized block (rust in cylinder 1), the restoration is now fully out of my league. I have plenty of stories and pictures to share, however I need to find some references on where to send it for (mechanical) restoration as the owners are not yet concerned for aesthetics. I spoke with David a Buds Benz in GA who stated that Metric Motors is closing shop, so I don't yet know where to send it to get the process started. :'(
