Hey.
It's been a while since I have been here. We have moved house since I purchased my old '63. I finally managed to get most of the "non-car" items out of my garage so that I can start work on my project. Sorry to burden you guys with a rookie... but I guess that you were all there once. I have taken on the ambitious task of restoring an absolute beast, that I found a year ago. I am told that the machine is complete ( but totally dismantled ) I have what I believe is the original engine/ block ( turns by hand, I am guessing that this is a good start) and a host of other parts.
I fear that I am striving for the unattainable... but I purchased the car for a song. I know how to turn a screw and I have am fortunate enough to have a doting partner that loves to see tackle new projects and is willing to fund my whims. ( Don't be hatin'!)
So no harm in trying. I am not afraid of the hard work, but I am sorely lacking in experience. Anybody out there want to give an old girl a leg up on where to start? I am sure that the good Lord will reward you for your patience in the afterlife. And you can have a lot of fun at my expence with your more experienced buddies. Yes?
