Front quarter pic. For original paint, this car is really nice. It's in no way perfect, but it's going to make for an easy repaint when my son settles on a color. I'm hoping he goes with a stock color, but it's his car, his choice.
Last but not least, the engine compartment. It needs some help here, but it's not bad. The engine is dry, the subframe underneath is dry, about the only thing that needs some attention right now is the brake master and booster. The master looks to be leaking slightly. I also noticed a wet backing plate on the driver's side rear brakes, so we'll square the brakes away this week before the safety inspection on Saturday. Some goodies are an Edelbrock intake and carb, MSD 6AL, external MSD Blaster coil on the HEI, MSD 8mm wires, Lakewood blowbell, Hooker Super Comp headers, and who knows what else. Haven't pulled the valve covers, but they're tall, and might be hiding some more goodies.
The seller's brother was there, I think he's the one who did most of the wrenching. He mentioned that this was the guy's first car, and he's in his early 50's now. Nice car from back in the day, ended up spending most of the past 20 years in the garage, babied, but not driven much. We'll take car of that.
One more goody that came in the trunk.
More pics to come.
