I want to see this.

As for the Plymouth. From the pictures and what some people were saying, the road was widened at one time which would have shifted the ground some. The concrete wasn’t sealed well enough that moisture won’t get into the tomb. I’m guessing you have a car floating in muck and water.

But if it comes out mint, that would be awesome. I’d live to take a trip down there when they unveil it.
