The BIG resto officially begins, the initial pics!

no holes? meaning rust holes? it has some, but it's fairly minor in the scope of things, just the rear corner of the quarters, a simple patch piece on each side.

I go tomorrow to drop off the first chunk of money, and do all the paperwork, then deconstruction begins. thanks for the support all, this is gonna be fun. My mother is already making plans, and suggest we (the family, my bro, sis, etc) all make a vegas run in it (about a 4 hour drive) LOL, that makes me scared, I'm gonna be scared to drive it when it's done.

 

Hey Jeremy, I noticed that the lights were on...was that a runner?

 

that's the reflection of the flash, however, yes (in a way) it was a runner. I had a clog in the tank, keeping fuel from getting to the bowl. However, I had the lid to the carb off, and I just stick a batt in in, and fill the bowl up with fuel, and it fires and runs around for a minute or so. If it wasn't for that damn leak, I had done the brakes a while back, the radiator is full with nice green fluid and recently rodded out, and was fully capable of going wherever (of course on 7 of 8 cylinders)

I tried dropping the tank, only to find that the crushed apron under the bumper was keeping me from getting to the bolts. I then pulled the sender in an attempt to get in that way, but it would never seal again after that, so that's where it sits now.

 

I signed the paperwork today, and gave the first deposit.

they're gonna degrease the entire car, then I'm gonna pull the drivetrain from it.

 

I love that third pic.....UPS bringin' mo parts!!:bananaman
