I'm surprised at your car's condition-if mechanics usually drive heaps, wouldn't a master mechanic drive a super heap?

When this car arrived, it was a good shell with an OK engine.
Just read the thread of what has been done to bring it up to this condition, and note the posting dates of how long it took.

Holy crap. There's a phone booth in the background of pic #2.

I haven't seen a phone booth since 1996!

That's merely a light dusting! We've had about 2.5x that much around here! The snow banks along my driveway are almost as high as my cars now!

NH is a small state. There was a big article on the TV news a few months back about pay phones here. They actually gave out the addresses of the last two known working phones. That story generated bunch of interest across the state.

Up the road a bit is a foreign car indie that favors British cars. There's an old English phone booth out front. No phone, though. I probably can find pictures of his cars in the snow, but probably none of them would be running.
