    Worth it from a drive ability and resale stand point. More and more peeps are wanting the look of an old car but with modern everything else.

In her first year of competition last year she silenced all the neigh sayers by working hard and becoming the champion. Today she moved up two divisions and placed 2nd - that's not going to sit well and I'm sure next event she will be gunning for number 1 - I'm a proud daddy!
    Do you have your own horse? My niece does and found that riding the same horse increased her competitiveness.

    Only problem horses are not cheap....think your car can suck up cash?

    Yes we have her horse but she's ready for a bigger horse. Was jumping 3'6 the other day on a bigger horse and she has the balls to go higher. The pony she has now is not capable of much more height. Her confidence level since she started riding is off the charts - had a few falls and just shook them off. Her first coach was not very good and holding her back. Her new coach has been excellent. I don't find it much more expensive then other sports but having a horse is like a car payment. He pony is pretty healthy and she was a rescue horse when we purchased her and wasn't too expensive and recovered very well. She is going into grade nine after this school year and when she begins to work she will eventually take over the responsibility. I think this is her calling and will likely continue to work with horses in one form or another as she grows and maybe for life.

    so verdict it stuck valves.

    tried the atf and fast crank trick and that got the intake valves moving but the exhaust ones wouldn't budge so pullet the head/ valve cover off and pored some atf directly around the stuck open valves will let it soak and see what happens

    Flat head n stuck valves go hand in hand, most times will free up however good idea to lap em while heads off.

    I saw those pics looks like a nice area - our house is nice but needs lots of work too the high commander is on my case hahahaha - our neighbour has a horse farm and we keep the horse there just walking distance.
