I had an electrical fire in a starter on a 460 once which was caused by a stuck ignition switch. I didn't realise that the thing caught on fire until I tore it apart and found it completely ruined on the inside.

So keep up the good work! I love to see these old antique cars and trucks come to life. It gives us a little glimpse into what life was like in the old days. I'm kinda burned out on all the restomods and flashy Barrett-Jackson trailer queens. I'd like to see more of these vintage vehicles driving around like they did back in the day.
