I just have to admire the patience and the skill exercised in thr resto job!

Just one question on topic: to what extent was it practice post-war in civvy use to use non-standard engines from the Chevy/GMC or Ford/Mercury range? As regards Fords I know that Ford Britain had wartime V-8s rebuilt under contract until about 1951, and I suppose GM Ltd did much the same with Chevrolet and to a lesser extent GMC engines. By then however new-build vehicles were available.
