What a pretty car, Tim. That will be a great Northern Wisconsin summer car.

Here is after the 1st and 2nd pass on the bottom of the car. There looks to be some staining of the glass that I suspect I'll never be able to improve. It looks like I am up getting up against the factory black out by the rear wheel wells.

I also found a couple of marks on the diff housing after the 1st cleaning

Wow, it's coming out quite clean, bet it's making a heck of a mess on the shop floor.
Any idea if the glass packs are Porter's ? I've looked at them at BTTF but never purchased a pair. Always wondered how they sound.

No idea Mitch. I'll look at them closer to see if there is any sort of stamping. Once I have the car running again, I'll take a short video. Hopefully it will pick up the sound correctly. I've got part of the dash apart to replace a bad tach cable. It was not routed correctly when the dash pad was done and it's pinched / broken. Say it with me.......PITA

On a different note, I ran into a first for me (I'm sure not for some of you others). The owner that had the car since 83, was obviously quite fond of the car. I was told a story that some of his (Lee) remains were under the drivers seat. They weren't BS'n.........

Lee now is properly dressed for rides.


I sure as hell don't need any bad karma

Whoa, I don't know about having something like that in a car I own. Seems a bit creepy...
On a different subject, get a respirator to block out cleaning fumes. I use it for painting but it blocks out the lacquer thinner fumes too. I buy mine at Harbor Freight for $20. The bag it comes in is a zip lock and you can store the mask in there for a long time and it will keep the charcoal viable for the next use.
