VA72C10,
I am going to go with your advice. It is an engine compartment after all!
I will fix the rust spot first!
Thanks for the "how to".
I am leaning towards the stainless column.
Special-K,
I did open a can of worms!
I can't get you a plane ticket, but I am sending tickets for Amtrac and Greyhound. You should arrive here around the 1st of March.
I am so excited you are coming to help!
John
