Thanks for the car, James.

Took the car out to gas it up tonight.

It has a tight feel, and really wants to RUN.

I'm going to check the rear end, to see if it is still a 3.08, because it sure was froggy!

Next up a lot of cleaning, documenting, and decision making about how to best balance preservation and restoration.

Kevin

Congrats on your purchase! That's a great starting point for a restoration or preservation!

Lots of cleaning and buffing, etc...so far.
Sort of assessing overall what is best...
Thinking 85% preservation, 15% restoration.

Looks really good. How did you remove the paint on the roof? What will you plan to restore?

Acetone takes cheap spray paint off fairly well, you just have to be careful of what kind of paint is under the spray paint.

As for the restore part, I am just going to address the cleaning and documenting right now, along with a a few cosmetic things and replace the water pump (weeping) and ps pump (whining).
