I went rogue...

I have been working on this thing for a couple weeks now... good , bad and the ugly.

Found the right rocker shafts askew.... rear sections of the heater channels are toast but really good from the doors forward (future project). I have a 1/4 floor pan to fix the rear seat/battery floor pan. I will fabricate the patches for the left side floor. This car could use new floor oans but patches will make it driveable and that's what I want.

Timed the engine last night with a test light. Going to pull the left valve cover to check for carnage. I have some parts coming today... fuel lines, air filter, etc. Got new plugs and dizzy parts. Once I go to the junkyard for a new-to-me $20.00 batteryI may try to fire it up.

The starter is hot wired with two wires you need to touch to engage the starter.... we will see how THAT works.IMG_20210716_202733032.jpg
