larry8200 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Well, all I had to do to get this running was put a battery and gas in it. Started right up and purrs like a kitten. Started cleaning and degreasing and removing paint from the chrome emblems. looking a lot better already. I have a slightly beat up nelson can to put on it, a nice black wheel and I'll find the right expanded metal to make a new grill. Re-work the hood a little and I think it will be perfect un-restored. :):):) With the gas to go get it, $35 for a new battery, and 2 qt. oil, I'm up to almost $270.

bowhunt4life Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Nice Job Larry! Your collection keeps multiplying! It is amazing how they just appear sometimes.^

larry8200 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Posted May 2, 2011 Yeh Perry, it bugs me too, they really didn't look bent at a glance, but ehen you look at them, something was wrong.
