So you flew to Boston, purchased the car, drove it back to Terre Haute IN ? That's over a 1,000 miles drive one way.

Any issues discovered with the mechanical or cosmetic restoration before, during or after that long drive?

Anything needing attention ?

Drove pretty good for bias ply tires. Engine ran like a sewing machine. Carb needs slight adjustment to the accelerator pump I believe. When you would stomp on it , it bogged a little. It's a nice car but not a concourse Meccum car ..very nice driver and wouldn't be afraid to take to car shows at all. Ran 190 degrees temp all the way and carried good oil pressure around 55 psi down the highway.
