Wow. I have never said anything like this:

"Turns out there had been almost no maintenance do on the [fill in the blank] for years."

I bet you are the only guy on this site who has ever bought a car and discovered it needed some maintenance. Am I right?

BTW, not even in the same league, but my "cheap" Yukon XL Denali I bought for a winter beater just required a transmission. Something "got into" the pump just driving down the road and the tranny quit.

Gilda was right: "It's always something."

What a cool car Charley. I can see why you want everything right.

I have reached stupid level at how upside down I am in this but I really Love the car. In my mind the best looking street rod I have ever owned. It's not going anywhere. Also as long as I don't sell it I won't lose any money.

It's a great looking car Charley, I am glad it's a keeper. Enjoy it.

Steve’s Auto Restoration had a booth at the show today and I asked about your car. They said they were very excited to have it back in the shop and really appreciate the opportunity to bring it back to its former glory + some improvements they’ve learned or gotten access to since building it. Nice guys, and their work is always so good.
