Re: My Big Iron, before and after
Wow, working on double A's is a huge undertaking, and it sure aged you.
 You took on a challenge that I wouldn't have considered and did a first class job on saving another Model AA from the scrap heap.

Re: My Big Iron, before and after
John,
Echoing everyone here, what a great job. What I like best is the photo of you when you got the truck. What a grin and what pride on your face even then. A kid's dream come true. Even better is the support you got from others to help you with it. When I got my first A at age 16, everyone thought I was nuts. I got no support and subsequently never got the car on the road. I sold it when I went to college. It was 45 years before I got another. A priceless experience and something you will treasure forever. I love the AAs with wire wheels. They are the best.

Your story is an amazing one. If I would have been around, when you first got it, I would have thought it would never happen. It looks great ! You did a wonderful job ! Be very proud, especially of those wire wheels ! Congratulations on a job, well done ! MIKE (mikeburch)
