My mechanic kept denatured alcohol in the reservoir near the driver's headlight (as I remember) and there was a side-push valve on the bottom of the reservoir. Push it and it would spew out a white milky residue which I guess was moisture taken out of the air suspension system.

So I am going to take that statement back. I just remember that it got so much that I could not take it any more.
Well, let me put it this way.......When you spend $8K or so in one month on an aged restoration - what does that work out to a year!?

It's unconscionable the time and dollars that these project cars demand to drive.

I frankly think that unless you can grow the vehicle's value by overspending on it - you're getting in over your head. You must keep the expenses in concert with it's upside value, or you're doing it for other reasons.
