One day you'll be driving her down the road. Then you won't know what to do with yourself. Half the fun is putting them back together. Just remember , when it gets tough, refocus and keep on wrenching. Its well worth it all in the end.

Do us all a favor and type in black. It is really difficult to read with the words in those light colors. Thanks.

All I ever get to do is sand my car down through about 3 layers of paint and primer all the way down to the metal. It seems like I'll never be done. But that's how it goes sometimes, I guess.

it looks alright, helluvadeal for 150 though. got any pics of the engine compartment?
yeah, if you do the bodywork and get rid of all the rust-itll be a nice car to drive.

what you do is, somehow use the battery's power to put a live wire on the side of the battery, and if some jackass tries to pull it out, it shocks the hell out of em.....

or just lock it....

well every1 the time came today i went to the store down the street and threw some gas in a tank brought it home and plopped it in the tank. hooked up the battary had it jumped off my stepdads truck (old battary from work out of a semi) put some water in the radiator and tried her out . took a few time to start her up first time i threw some gas in the carb she cranked but was reving like ultra high and died . so i took the keys out and realized the gas was sticking and the throttle was very loose as if the inside wasn't coming back out . step dad threw me some starting fruid and i used that cranked her up again and it happened again reved very high so we shut her off this time andi wd-40'd the throttle cable and the gas pedal and pumped it a couple times and worked like a charm . cranked her up again and she sat still at a beautiful sight of no shaking so clugging nothing just like she was new . theres no feeling like it . i didnt get to take pictures of the engine comp today but i took recording of the engine with my phone and sent it to my computer but wouldnt know how to throw it on here . this coming up friday ill have a lil money for supply and time to do the passenger side she gonna need a steering boot tires and i need to fix the front floorboards and shell be street legal .
