After searching and searching on Craigslist I found a deal and a worthy car to restore...
I bought it in Modesto and it was parked for 4 years. Dudes son went to Iraq so it sat.
For 4 years sitting it just fired right up! It's got some minor issues like many old cars
but nothing I don't know how to deal with.I was tripping when I drove it home cause
it was smoking into the passenger compartment but the dude took out the pcv valve
and I found out later. That air/smoke is supposed to go back into the carb for even more
power/air intake! So what I thought for a second was a bad move turned into better than I expected
cause it'll run stronger now. Tomorrow I drain the radiator, engine oil, and already have a new air filter.
Just got some gas conditioner in a full tank so when it's on empty I'll throw in some gumout. The deposits
will then make their way into the fuel filters and at that point I'll swap out the 2 filters.
I'll need to rust convert and fiberglass fill some areas and also bondo around a lot of areas
on the car. Should take a couple months. Then, I'll scuff and shoot it with a red single stage.
Last I'll buff the whole car so it has that buttery gloss shine. Those stupid looking star things
on the rims are annoying and will get taken off. Those are cool old school rims too.
Dude drilled holes in the rims to get those on but I'll fiber glass fill them and shoot it with a gloss black.
The drums will be painted red to match.
Fucking great deal and perfect for a body guy cause it runs good. It only has a 2 barrell carb
but will probably get a 4 barrell so it'll be faster. Not sure if I want to sell it but will fish around
when it's done.
Sorry for the excitement.
