    Update for anyone interested. 1 year ago today the van gave up its engine for my DeSoto. I made some progress but the past few months my health has taken a turn down. I have developed type 2 diabetes and a heart condition.
    Not sure when or if I will ever be able to get back to work on the car.
    Still very thankful to have met Kevin and Dalton and for all they did.

    That was just awesome Dalton I was usually a bit sceptical about your collaborations with Kevin but this was just epic from you both, and what a great thing you did for Tony. I spent 10 years in the British Army as a heavy machinery mechanic down to Iraq and Afghanistan (lost my best friend in Afghanistan) and I still have the physical and mental scars from both of them. I love seeing the respect veterans get in the USA over here in the UK it seems in very short supply at times but perhaps that's the case everywhere. I very rarely mention my time in the forces but this was just awesome. Dalton and Kevin thank you!

I have one like it and mine is over 10 years old and still works like a champ! The newer ones just don't look as tough. Mine even came with a new set of brushes. Maybe put the engine and transmission in the DeSoto! It would be "much more reliable" then. LOL

    This was an epic mini series. 3 of my favorite UA-cam channels overlaping. Awesome.
