Well, finally got the appraisal papers back from the appraiser. Happy with the result, appraised for $31,500 which is not a Barrett/Jackson car but for what I wanted as a NICE driver I'm pleased with the results. During the restore I had it insured at $20,000 which would have allowed me to make out okay if the worse case were to occur. Will be increasing the insured value to $35,000 when the renewal comes up which is not too far off.

Bummer of the deal is was getting ready for the first showing this coming weekend and just this past Saturday the 65 year old radiator gave up and presented me with a LEAK. After this long a wait decided not to jack around with it. Pulled the radiator and took it in for a re-core. "Mo Money", LOL, but I haven't cut corners yet so no need to start now. Just a little more wait until 57 makes it's first showing. Waited this long, so a little longer will be a cake walk.
