Retired air traffic controller, 32 years. Always had A mg somewhere, guess I had 7 (one at a time)till now ... currently have the 76B, I had restored as a daily driver, the 63B hot-rodded, always wanted a early pull handle/steel dash car that rocked!!, The 58A is a work in progress, everything underneath rebuilt to make it safe to drive, will do eng/trans, body, later down the road !! Bill Shields & the crew at Carriage Craft in Reading Pa, did the restoration work. I'm not a mechanic. Have two choppers to ride & learning to fly precision aerobatics in the bipe.
