Thanks,
Not sure how to make a build thread, i barely was able to get them in my header. Have had a real pain staying logged in, tried the "My Garage" app and seemed like all went south from there.
Somehow or another i was trying to log in to "FTE" another site i like when i cannot get answers here.
Used to go on it long ago but stopped for some reason.
I'll work on figuring out a build thread, just not sure how to find it to add new pics for it getting lost in threads and which area to post it to.

Easiest way is to log on the webpage. Garage talk app is fine for looking.....kind of. Lol

Thats my thought on Garage Talk, i did read that its in the beta stage, hopefully they will get the bugs workrd out and it'll do what they want... whatever the end goal is.
Wasn't that SuperBowl somethihg else? I'm really not into football per sey just the Super games.
Don't really have time for them. I'll work on the build page, I've been thaking pics of most everything.
Thanks & grease those wheels ��

When I get it to the house next week I'm going to pressure clean it etc and go through the parts etc. See what is under the dirt. POR-15 will be needed-LoL
But for the price and originality w/bucks seats, I can't lose if I decide to part it out.
Just couldn't see it go to the scrap yard. The man who passed, his son now in his late 70's was going to restore it, that is why the parts are off the motor. Sat for 10yr and he never got to it.

I'll 2nd that on the before and after pics, carry your phone or camera every time you head towards your prize or you'll end up missing some great shots, been there done that!!
If you decide to swap engines i have the perfect one for it, I'll add a pic later of it, would make it run like a scalded dog for sure and look sweet to boot.

Those pictures aren't showing up. Too bad. I wouldn't have minded having a look.

Pics work for me.


Glad you saved it! $250 leaves a lot of budget for getting it cleaned up! Getting it off the ground and the dirt off it will be the best right now.
