    Just got this rough 73 today. Motor is junk, but hopefully there is enough left to justify my 300 bucks. it looks to me like it will be an awesome fun project. Love everybodys ideas here and can already tell this forum will be a life line for getting this car back together. I kind of feel sorry for my brother in law, because it was his car and he only got to drive it for about three weeks before the motor went. I suspect it was gone when he got it, and his young heay foot took the rest of the way.
