Mike, not everyone is interested in how HOT their engine's water temperature is. Some like to know how COOL the water gets before it gets into the warm engine and begins to heat up.

Now I do admit that I am not one of those, but as he is, there may be others as well. That the restorer put it in at all indicates that he had the best of intentions.

I suppose now that the poor fellow's car has been subject to intense scrutiny, it may be time to start looking (easy to find) for the many positive aspects of the car. Most of the "good" as well as most of the 'bad' can only be discovered with a thorough 'in person' examination, but we 'arm chair' critics can at least do a 'cosmetic' judgement of the good points of the car - just as we have done a 'cosmetic' judgement of the bad points of the car.

Ignoring his sometimes 'weak' information / description, I think we all can find some good things to say about this car. Let's try shall we?
