Doesn't look too bad if you don't mind a project. Sometimes it's better to pass and save up to find a better piece to build. It could be a big savings of time and money in the long run. I spent a few thousand for my 66 but it was a cool car and all there. It was in need of a drivers fender and lower 1/4 repair. I heard the engine run and figured the drive train was solid. Oh by the way, The 64 Polara owner and I are still talking. ANyone know of a good transporter from Cali to Iowa?

I can’t recommend a good one, but I can warn you to NEVER use a company called “Curves Ahead” out of St. Louis. They are total **** and will leave you very unhappy.

If they screw up and damage your car, they blame the driver and walk away from all responsibility. They will also never deliver a car on time. They quote 4 days and it takes nearly 3 weeks.

They are on my permanent “Do not use” list.
 
This one took me over 7 hours to complete. 15 versions and over 70 separate layers across the versions.

I am pretty happy with how it turned out though...

Plan B turned into B revised. LOL. Stir fried chicken with string beans and sliced almonds using a marinate of soy-ginger-garlic-basil in cream sherry and olive oil. On regular white rice. Keep forgetting to buy some sticky rice when I'm at the co op.

You need a good rice cooker and just regular long grain rice. Believe me, after living in Hawaii where rice is a food group, we make it regularly.

It can be just a cup or 8 cups, a good rice cooker handles it all!

Just drop in rice, water and a pinch of salt and walk away. 20-30 mins later, perfect sticky rice.

Funny you mention that. My neighbors - Korean-American, also swear by rice cookers.

I was tempted if it was in better shape to build it instead of my 74. But I'm passing. For now. its not got a title so that's a pause as it's a Medicaid situation involving power of attorney and their approval on sale price

Always nice to have a helper when bleeding. I rarely do. End up using whatever is around to hold the pedal down for final pumps.

I'll be intersted. I have few liquid trap contraptions I use. One was a stopper with a double hole and two glass pipes, one necked down. it fit pretty well in a snapple jar. Eventually I decided I didn't care for having the possiblilty of sharp broken glass and started aquiring commercially made plastic versions. LOL.
 
Its just a brake pedal hold down. I tried those check valves,have a dedicated kit for bleeding, but pedaling is still the best.
