You're killing me here, Ken!  I was agonizing over this decision for hours
after I talked to you yesterday, and spent a lot of time last night trying to
figure out a way I could afford to get my both my '85 and this '84 "donor" on
the road.  Alas, it's just not possible.  I hope I don't end up regretting
this decision, but for now, it feels like the right one.    sigh.......

Thanks,
