after 20 years, it ran today
Instead of asking for help and leaning on all of you. I am happy to thank all of you for your support; It ran today!!
In 1998 it left me and my small daughter stuck, in July heat. Had it towed home, covered it up and left it stored beside the house until about two years ago. Because it was well covered the paint has held up well and the tires still hold air. The interior is still decent, but all the rubber parts under the hood were crisp and the fuel tanks needed cleaning. Rebuilt the carbs, put in a new radiator, did the brakes, plus a million other little things and today turned the key. Started and idled.
Again thanks all of you. what a great 70th birthday present.
