this thong is riding up on me

So I've been detailing the engine bay of my '66 the past few nites, and I"d run across an interesting detail....Apparently, it's an 'all original', numbers matching machine. Non old-car buffs may not reconize the significance of that, but the buffs will. Basically matching numbers means that the car was not involved in a significant enough frontal accident to need the core support to be replaced...which in most cases, doesn't take a very severe accident. It also means that the same engine and transmission that were installed in the factory are still in there. This can be a big deal for rarer cars, like K-code Galaxies or GT500 Shelby Stangs and the like, but for the '66, it's just soemthing kinda cool. I also launched a feder clip while grinding tonite...no clue where the hell that thing went...I think I need to find it, lol.
