thanks dan!
i ripped out all the door panels today and already the interior looks better. i had the sheriff stop by and verify the vin so i can go non-op it next week. sad news is the motor is frozen, tried the breaker bar and stopped when i thought i was gonna snap off the bolt. the strange thing is that the water pump is also frozen.
the tranny fluid looks clean but who knows.
im not sure if i can afford a engine rebuild right now. i was stoked when i first saw those "rocket" valve covers on the v-8 (303 i think) but it might be out of my price range right now. i might have to turn it over to someone who can give it the love it deserves. ill have to ponder that.
in the meantime im gonna soak some penetrating oil in the cylinders and see if itll work free.
i figured out the black thing sticking up out of the dash is an automatic light dimmer, how cool is that? i also cant help but love the fact that all four tires are a different brand, size and three are bias and one radial lol.
see how things come along i guess
thanks!!!!!!
