Thank you just bought it

This car is well loved
I have replaced all brake shoes brake cylinders turned drums.

Replaced all lug studs and lug nuts (never take your car to someone that does know the difference from 65 lbs to 110 lbs)
Six lug studs snapped off.

New shocks all around.

Any suggestions on softening the seats vinyl is getting hard. Want to keep it with as much original parts.

More to come…

Welcome

Welcome! I have used the Spectra tank on two fusies but don't know if they work on slabs. @LocuMob and other owners might be able to answer the question.

Welcome, that is one sharp Monaco.

Hmm someone is missing a sock and float has a liquid in it don’t think that’s good.

This is the tank measurements

Van's has the specific 65, 66 tank in stock.

When I took my seat apart I was able to see that the original colour is black. I want to keep as much of the car original so didn’t want to replace carpet just because it’s faded so…. painted with Dupli-Color vinyl and fabric paint.

Looks good.

Next is to bring the old vinyl back to life…..baby oil??

Applied baby oil and wrapped in plastic over night.

To cold to do in garage, wife was out so… into the livingroom.
She was not impressed.

Wiped down, not greasy but a decent shine and ( this may not have made it softer but in my mind ) it’s softer and darker

Nope. I don't think anything will bring old vinyl back to life if it has dried to the point it is cracking - but I am no expert.
