Since 1st message posted, here goes. I have a 70 Gran Coupe that I bought new in November of 1969. I drove the car a little, but with Uncle Sams Marine Corp, wife, kids and other things that came along including work, I drove the car only 26,000 miles until I parked it for station wagons, trucks and family cars. I never even thought of selling the car as it was my first "new" auto. About 3 years ago, I decided to fix up the car and drive it again to regain the old "youth". What started out as changing the oil and new brakes has turned into a massive project, what was I thinking!! The car is now completely and I mean completey apart and on the Auto Twirler setting in my shop. Although there was few miles and virtualy no rust, setting for 20 some years pretty well took care of brakes, exhaust, gas tank, brake lines, etc.
After looking around on the internet, I decided to find a way to talk to people who share the same passion as I do, and, whala, here I am. I built street rods for years and painted and repaired auto for more than 20 years to support my auto habit. Since everything has changed so much in the years since I worked on cars, I hope I can get some tips and answers on the rebuild project. There seems to be one hell of a lot of parts and bolts on my car, really don't want to end up with extra parts when I'm done. I'll be asking a lot of stuff in days, months and maybe years to come. (maybe not years, just "year").
