I've restored multiple cars (mostly early Mustangs) and done some race car work. Aside from the Clock work, I'm also a career Firefighter in the City of Brotherly Love (22 yrs.) and have a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering. ( Spent some time as a ME at Bell Labs before I realized squirting water and breaking stuff was a lot more fun ...) so I may have something to offer as well....
Thank's for giving me the chance to learn from you guys.... John

Hi John,
Welcome to the forum.
(I'd heard Bell Labs was a cool place, many years ago...)
