Update time! It finally got warm enough to be outside, so I've been going to visit my old friend here and tinkering around.
She fired right up after sitting in freezing weather for about 6 weeks. Yesterday I took the heater motor out and got it working,
and ran some new wires for it. I need to re-do the leads coming out of the blower motor before I reinstall. Also got the vacuum
actuated windshield wipers going, took the pump out, shot it with some WD-40, a little persuasion with some pliers and it was
back to normal. Two speeds. On or off. Same with the heat.
Today I went and started on the brake lines, I got the new
soft lines weeks ago and they've just been sitting. After cleaning away 60 years of grease and dirt, I found the hard lines had
rusted through. Trip to AutoZone to get new parts. Next time I go, they should be installed, and hopefully I can take a trip
around the block!
Got the hood stripped and primed, can't wait to be able to drive it to the body shop on weekends with my friend and get it all one color.
Here is the fender I worked back on the car (only hanging on with a few bolts hand tight)
For you dash lovers out there
Seats 6!
And a place to hide some bodies...
