Have you seen the prices sellers want for it now?

I am 70, an engineer and a car guy. Did the first FEA simulation of a car crash, for Chevrolet, back in 1981 when I was employed by MARC.

My dad worked for A.O.Smith as head of new product development. A.O.Smith built all of G.M.’s frames. In high school (1965) I saw one of my Dad’s employees who I knew from childhood, Bob Bodine, doing a frame crush analysis with the computing power available at the time.

Its fun read that engineers took apart a unibody Nash and didn’t find much to get enthused about. Wish I had come across your writing earlier.
