This might have been a bad idea, BUT

Saw those earlier today. Nice find. If those control boxes don’t work, there might be some simple fixes to get them back. :popcorn:

I will be doing a mega thrash on this car just to see if it will run next week. WEATHER PERMITTING since it cannot be put in my garage. I will start a build thread probably Saturday since it is supposed to be delivered here then. There will be daily youtube video uploads if your bored. Only going to work on the car for about a week but have BIG plans. This all hinges on that engine being OK. Going to take it out and disassemble. The car has been in the woods since the 1990s so trying to get it to breathe life again will be fun as hell. It was driving down the road when it caught fire in 1990 something. The fire department put out the fire. So I know the engine was fine then. It is not locked up and is full of old black oil. I have all new gaskets and seals on the way for an engine re seal. Don't have the money for a total rebuild. Basically just wanting to see if it will run again after being dormant for that long. If the engine is junk or needing a total rebuild, the thrash is over and will be put on back burner with the other projects. Thought it would be a cool video series for a week but a very small budget is all I got. So get your popcorn stocked up and get ready for some :wax: :wax: :wax: :wax:

Congratulations on all of the parts that you've found to go on this car. Really looking forward to seeing it in your driveway, and I hope the engine is OK for you.
