bones Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 This car was completely original when I found it all except for the 70 year old crappy paint job on it everything was stock original equipment with matching numbers even the stock leather interior and headliner was intact it had been sitting in the barn for about 30 years absolutely no rust anywhere I bought it and took it home I put a little tranny fluid in all the cylinders cleaned the old spark plugs filed the points and adjusted them to spec cleaned out the old updraft carb put some fresh fuel in it and a new battery stepped on the donkey dick starter and the damn old flat 6 fired right up literally only took me a few hours to get her running it took me a bit longer to get all the old breaks to work I had to hone out all the break cylinders and master most of the wheel cylinders were completely seized up but I was able to get them unstuck and cleaned up with new rubber seals installed and I was actually driving the car by the end of the next day now that's what I call a true barn find I have since redone the complete interior DIY with a bit of cussing and some redoing I am super happy with the results I am one happy man 👍 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
