That's a neat truck and you did a great job on the van. You seem practical and level-headed and will probably move your project forward quickly because of that. You've already gotten a lot done. If you're still fighting grease on the undercarriage, I'm always surprised how well Simple Green works away at that. I spray it on the engine, wheel wells, and undercarriage when I get a new project. Work on something else, letting it soak in and then rinse it off. After three times I'm always surprised how much cleaner it is with so little effort. I look forward to seeing your progress and thanks for mentioning Classic Heartbeat. I will check them out.
