Don't pick on the purists folks. I was a hard core purist most of my life and I will be again once the Firebrid is done.

My project now is the Firebrid because it calls to me to be done.
My project after that will be the all-electric BMW Z3 that my wife wants.
After that, I will be looking for a '61 Tempest (convertible if I can find one) that I plan to make showroom stock down to the screw heads... because I think the 1st gen Tempest was cool with its slant 4-cyl engine, and I will be well practiced in the skills I will need to do it.

I bought one on those slant fours in I think in 1971. I lived in Allentown, PA at the time, full of road salt rust. Loved the car and got a deal on it, $125.00, and all it needed was the starter motor bolts tightened up. I wouldn't mind having another one.
