Hello from Rochester, NY
Hey there. I'm a new member and first time owner. I am the proud new owner of a '71 454 that has been in storage for about 25 years. It was my fathers car and he was the only owner. It was running when it went in... I will be getting it out this spring and will start working on her. I have quite a bit to catch up on in terms of learning so I hope you all don't mind questions!
I have new door panels to put on, there is a bit of leakage around the windshield and she needs paint but I am more focused on getting her running again. I was in my 20's when she hit storage so neither of us are getting any younger. Any advice on what to look for first would,be appreciated. I know the battery is shot and the tires are likely shot. Hoping for the best on everything else!
