On the Drivers Side Door Jam, that Hole, is that for the Tilt Away?
[/quote.    The exposed hole is a missing courtesy lamp switch. The switch below is for tilt away.

That money could be best used for Gavin's hair gel and Nancy's gourmet ice cream addiction. Possible $10 gas this summer.

I would assume that a vehicle receiving the full barn find package could up the selling price in the right venue, with the usual ringmasters. 10% + ?  Im in.

Id say yes. Cat prints, mud daubers, a nice layer of fine top soil. Everything except the barn itself.

I would think a survivor would be untouched except for necessary mechanical upkeep and cleaning. I would presume to be an unrestored #1 car with much patina throughout.

The exterior aside, Why would you not recondition the engine bay aprons before engine reinstallation? Is this done for effect or budget shortfall?

Very cool. Let's pool together, strap a pesky Floridian to the hood, and take it to the Snake River.

You know these guys are sitting around together having a beer alike the Doolittle Raiders.

The floor? Oh that was transportation damage while on route to the dealership. Was there always.

For normal driving I would get some Carquest Gold pads. No noise issues or excessive dust. Best to true up the rotors.

Looks like it could be as rough as the one Heasley found in Ohio.

Sent you a PM. Tim R.

Disconnect the fuel line at the filter at the carb and run a length of fuel hose to a container. Using a remote starter switch,(key off, coil wire removed). Disconnect front small lead,( red with light blue tracer on my car), on starter solenoid and attach remote starter to solenoid stud and BAT+. Engage starter approx 3 seconds and observe fuel flow amount. If fuel flow looks O-K then check for restriction in carb. Subletting this to a quality local tech is an option.

Are you using ethanol fuel? Your fuel pump may be failing. What kind of fuel flow are you getting while cranking? What is condition of fuel? what does the spark plugs look like? When was the last time the carb was overhauled? Have you got good spark? When the car is running does it want to backfire?
