Tom,
The 56 "Monica" is still there, the trucking company wants to wait until May 1st to pick her up. Since they are giving me one hell of a discount whatever they want is fine with me. We were out there last week getting a good cover on her for winter.
We purchased her in 1999 and parked her on my uncles property (Pond Hill) until we had all the funds to do the restoration properly. Unfourtanetly the old cover was lost in a bad storm, the good thing is besides more surface rust, there is no rust thru that was not there when we purchased her.
From talking to guys that worked on her mechanically the pump may need to be replaced. It was frozen and welded at least twice. But since we plan on doing a total frame off this is not much of a problem for me. When I get both rigs back here in the spring I will start threads for them in the memebers restoration area with plenty of PIC's. Perhaps I'll start a thread before then with current PIC's.
