Thank you all, I am enjoying getting her road ready. Just a few more things to go and we can take her out!
That is a sweet find bro! I am more impressed at how you've been getting her back up to speed/refreshing her. Well done, and welcome to the site!
I love the fact it's a T-top too! Mine's a t-top with vinyl back! Post more pics, start a build thread, and check my GP out (link in sig).

Well the run was 8 whole miles, first 8 miles that the car has driven in 15 years! No issues other than people breakin their necks to see it! I did notice that it was running a little hot (215 degrees) so when I got her back to the shop I started looking... the radiator does not look so good inside, pulled it out and took it to our local shop to check it out. The core is plugged and when we pressure tested it...it blew apart! I could have gotten a new plastic / aluminum radiator which would work perfect but it would not be correct for the car. The original one says Harrison right on the tank and it has a build tag soldered onto it as well. So I has the old one re-cored, flushed the engine and changed out the t-stat. Now she's sitting at 165 175 degrees! Just gotta get the brake fluid flushed and we are all set to drive!
I didn't realize it had been that long since it had driven, no wonder you were cautious to drive it too far at least it made it back home no problem.
Yep, I really want to get it out in some traffic before taking it to Woodward next weekend but its raining!!!! 😢 !
I heard this year there won't be any traffic out at Woodward.Curless said:
Yeah Right, they have been cruising out there the last couple weeks and all the out of towners have been strolling in this past week.At least as of right now they are predicting nice weather for the Dream Cruise.
