Exactly the type of restoration that I like to see... brought back from the dead. It looks great, congrats.

Re: Victor 1 Project - Finished!!!
I was with Jerry when he picked up a box containing what looked to be a Victor 1. It was dirty and a mess, but enough there to bring back to life. And, the price was right and it took us close to some fun sights on our trip to Union last year (the giant ball of twine to be specific).
Great job Jerry! You do great work. I wish I had your drive and patience for such things.
