I have a thread already going in General discussion but thought I better start a build thread. Today is the start of a 7-9 day mega thrash which will include me meeting up with the guy to get it pulled out of the woods and delivered to my house. Meeting him in a couple hours. Hopefully we can get this done today. This will be all video uploads with commentary. I have all the parts collected that burned in the engine compartment fire except both plastic inner fenders and a left front fender. I have these located but going next week to get. Here's the plan = Not doing any restoration work right now. Going to be swapping burnt parts for dirty good used parts. Going to pull engine/ trans and disassemble the engine. If engine checks out OK, I will proceed with a re sealing of the engine and freshening the needed mechanical parts. At the end of the 7 to 9 days, I'd like to have a complete car that will start on the key and possibly move under it's own power. I WILL strip it apart in a couple years to do a frame off restoration but for now it has to wait. If you follow my threads I'm a bit busy with several projects around here. I know the engine is not stuck and oil is on the dip stick to the full mark. I have most of the needed new parts here including seals, gaskets, and a timing chain. I still have not received my engine gasket kit from Summit but got the intake gasket set yesterday. This car will eventually be a light resto mod style build like my 78 Olds Salon 442 clone I built. If you have not seen that car, click on the youtube link in my signature, click on videos, then scroll to the vey bottom. I've been building and restoring cars since the early 90s. This still does not make me an expert but I get by. I will post a video tonight of it being pulled from it's grave site. Here is the video I shot of the Century when I traded for it about 7 months ago.
