First thing I noticed was the front 67 valance on the 68, but I looked through everything inside and all seemed good, no signs of collision, etc. Teh color of the car was originally a yelllowish\baby cream color (the name escapes me), and was covered in the last 40 years with a crappy Miracle white coat and some weird pinstripping. The top is halfway good (rear part was half cat eaten), the interior is pretty decent but red so taking some getting used to... As the interior is good it is hard to justify changing it just yet...
I put some time for the next days, fluid changes, go through electrical (someone started a half ass tune up that involved disconnecting and mixing wires everywhere), replacing the fan clutch as the current one looked beat, then battery, some new gas, and ....ommppph with clouds of smoke she lived again!!:woot:
I was stoked and could not contain myself and had to take the bird for a short ride, which was not really bad, considering braking was marginal with the leaky MC. I made afew feet, then back to the driveway, and a few more weeks of playing with the bird and she was half ass road worthy!!
Took her for a spin, aired up the crunchy tires, and she dorve amazingly nice and smooth!!
As I was working on two other birds and a Jeep, I put her on storage for a few weeks until I had space again. In the mean time, craigslist to the rescue looking for some roller tires\wheels, and parts to start the build [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
