When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I'm a sucker for a nice round cab truck. That International is beautiful. I could see my FB on the back of it.

Very, very nice.

There is a part of me that wants a straight 8 like that Packard. No idea what I'd put it in. I have the same cravings for a Merlin engine. Don't know what I'd use one of them for either.

Cheers,

I would like to put one in a little roadster built with a widened mid 20's cowl - probably handle like poo but it would certainly look the goods 8) 8) 8)

I love the look of many Strombergs lined up along a straight-8.

I keep telling myself that this would be a very, very bad idea:

Talking to Dave a while back, the costs on getting one of these beasties running can be formidable.
