I am starting this thread in hopes to organize my data and help me keep track of what I have done.
For those that are looking for some type of satisfaction from seeing a story told and a restoration completed. There will be none of that here. However,
I do intend to get this car to a very presentable state. Reason being, it has grown on me and earned its keep. I will attempt to put together the back story as I upload my content.
For starters. I found the car on craigs. There was no picture and only a few words. I caught it shortly after it posted and called. He answered and I headed out straight away. It was only about 3 miles from my house. He was a scrapper and got it on a door knock. It had been in a carport for decades.
I put the battery out of my car and dumped fuel in the carb. It fired on the points as is. I gave the man his asking price of $600. I believe this was 2012 based on the date stamp on some of my pictures.
