Moving Santa Cruz to north of Seattle and I need to get this thing running for the first time in 9 years. With a project house (finally sold!) dragging me down, I haven't had the time or energy. Might relent and let somebody else do the work for once, but it'd be really nice to at least get the gas tank in and have it running so it's easier to load on the trailer! Had it cranking over and rebuilt the carb earlier this year.
Chris Springer Restorations is your neighbor.

Get the engine running in the car so I can move it under its own power!
Finish the body off full nut and bolt restoration, but that probably won’t happen until way past winter, but hopefully in 2026.
