Matt,

A man after my own heart. I had the same kind of weekend with a '66 1800 I had purchased from the PO, who had let her car sit for over 12 years - then I let it sit for two more. I had a couple of SU's re-built about 4 years ago that were just sitting in a box, so I slapped them on, did the beginning tune up and ran a hose to a lawn mower gas can. She started at the first crack - I couldn't believe it!! Oh! I had squirted a fair amount of Marvel Mystery Oil on top of all of the cylinders a few days previous..

Since then I have gotten the gas tank pretty well refurbished and re-installed; the new clutch master and slave installed; and the brake booster rebuilt. I took her out for a little spin around the cemetary next door, with just the headers on it. Nobody jumped up, but I noticed a couple of graves in which the occupant might have been spinning. I am hoping that I can get the interior done this winter; the suspension re-done; and the body work finished before paint in the spring. I'm in South Dakota, where the winters are long, so I should have plenty of time...

Thanks for your addition to the list
