Looks good, Chuck. You have to have that on the road by summer!

[62131]

I'm sure your getting excited about getting  this close to firing it up

[Chucks36]

Elvis has left the building.........under its own power since the early to mid 60's.   Not much left to do now....install seat belts, running boards ans exhaust.   and for some reason I cant get my thermostat to open......may just be air in the system.

[TFoch]

Congrats Chuck!  That's a big step.  It's fun from here

[EDNY]

That car is a sweetheart ..just the way it is.

[Chucks36]

Thanks guys.......forgot to add that I have to CLR the rest of the car.  If you look at the first pic you can see that I cleaned the body with CLR from the hood forward vs. the back half of the car which is loaded with 80 years of oxidation.

That car is so cool. congrats on getting it to move on it's own again. Try drilling asmall 16th inch hole on the outer edge of the thermostat to relieve any air, and let the fluids through when filling to purge the system

[Chucks36]

Yeah, I've had success in the past drilling a small hole in the T-stat.   That will probably be my first remedy If I cant burp it with just the radiator cap open

[62131]

Glad to see it is under its own power and moving

[chopper526]

Great, Chuck!!! You must feel like the "king"!!

[Chucks36]

Lol.......another shot after the running boards indtalled

[62131]

Sweeeeeeeet   

[ghost28]

I like that car and with the patina still intact makes it even cooler.

[sammons]

Looking real good Chuck!

[themoose]
