Default Hard weekend big rewards

My mission, to finally get my 74 to move under its own power =) (when I got it, the only known problem other than it being a complete project car, was the clutch). Well after that, the radiator went, and after that the starter died. When repairing the radiator I found that the rad frame was rotten (now replaced). So after all of these repairs, which were culminated on saturday evening. But as me and my father were preparing to fill the radiator and take her around the block, we find a :Drip drip: coming from the opposite side of the radiator. Well after busting our hands, and messing with the radiator frame, radiator and shroud all day, it was quite distressing =). Translation us out there at 8pm with a torch trying to repair it. That didnt work, so after removing it from the vehicles this morning, we finally repaired it, and got everything back in place. For a nice ride around the block, minus functional brakes ;-) next project. Ill have pictures up sometime tomarrow. Heh, and without exaust, it sounds wonderful.
