I was almost hoping Lockheed would make the decision to retire for me, but that didn’t happen. It’s just as well I suppose, because I have about run out of near-term doable projects that interest me. A water/meth system has been in development for the 335D for several months now. I have all the parts, did custom pump mods and even mocked up the tank install, but it’s like I’m just getting lazy about the vehicles these days or something.
The New Yorker is a fine driver as is. Complete restoration along with building the spare 440/727 must wait for retirement, because I believe that is just too much to properly tackle while working full time. There’s no place to plant anything else around the house, I’m not finishing the basement and the pond was the final landscaping piece:

Guess I’ll just keep working a couple more years and see what happens…
