jimbob: I hear you. Still workin' on the idea of keeping it and getting it shipshape. Gonna take a little longer than I thought, though. I'm leery of big block trucks, mainly because of the offensive driving I usually see associated with them. I know it's a spurious associatin, and rarely occurs when I see them actually towing stuff, but. Maybe it's a local thing. So it's good to know that it's at least possible to go with a smaller block. The old-school touring car idea appeals to me the most.
AIR-Q: thanks for the tips. Memphis is sort of meh, but I'm leaving soon for Austin, Texas. For VERY good reasons. So, I'd have to say, it is going well in Memphis but for reasons unrelated to Memphis! The town is in sort of questionable shape at present, and I find it frustrating for many reasons. There's a lot of great stuff here, and a good history at least as far as popular culture is concerned (kind of nasty on other fronts, but most places have their ghosts). And it's cheap, which is really what keeps most people here. After 40 years, though, I'm ready to move on.
