Yes you will need a cone compressor to get the front cones in

Been awhile.

I got the suspension, drive train bits and brakes back on the car. I also got the old "leather" gunk out of the fuel tanks and working on cleaning them. I was planning on doing the POR 15 treatment on them, cleaning, prepping and then sealing. The car is running, bit loud with the current exhaust (will add one to the next order).

One question that I have. How do I lock the car? Only one door has a lock on it? Is this normal or did one of the PO do something weird here? I will be ordering a set of lock but currently on back order.

Early cars had one lock.  The other door locks from the inside.

I will have to look into that, thanks!

Did you say that "leather" stuff came out of the inside of the fuel tank?  :-\

I had the ones for this 66 powder coated (only the outside) and they look terrific. Powder coat is tough too, hard to scratch it once it's completely cured out. Just be sure to rinse thoroughly when they come back as the sand blasting dust and debris still gets inside even tho they plug all the holes

Yup, out of one of the tanks. There was more. I guess that is what happens when fuel gets left in a tank for 13+ years! I have been rinsing the tanks with muriatic acid to remove the stuck on fuel varnish. The smaller tank is done, working on the bigger one. Almost have it clean. I did find a radiator shop that is willing to boil it, but was concerned I was gonna end up with two halves.

I like the powder coat idea!
