I guess one of the Mecum guys was really interested in the 60's and 70's stuff so thats why they got into it. They definitely need some help though if they are going to keep doing televised events. The 1 hour infomercial a few weeks back was absolutely painful, especially every time they mentioned the steamer. you're not going to find an expert on everything, but they really could have used a couple of more guys with familiarity on a variety of subjects, especially pre war.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
