Welcome to CC.c! Sounds like a good car to bring back and you'll find plenty of help and encouragement here.
Are you a toolmaker with a name like "edgefinder"?
Wow, impressive, for all the years I've been online using the name, you're the first one to recognize where it comes from. Yeah, I'm a Tool & Die Maker, or was before the Delphi bankruptcy at least. Back when I was an apprentice I managed to forget to lock the knee on a Bridgeport while edgefinding a thin piece of stock. As I walked around to check where I was touching off I hit the handle with my leg and moved the piece up just far enough to jam the back jaw into the edgefinder . It was odd as it didn't blow to pieces but instead managed to cut some swirls into the hardened jaw and turned itself purple nearly welding itself together without ever busting the internal spring. My journeymen and fellow apprentices were quite impressed and they gave me the nickname for a short time which stuck and became my online moniker.
On another note, back on topic, my uncle and I unburied the car from the old barn to take a look at it. Without a doubt, I have plenty of work ahead of me, but I don't think it will take too much to get it back on the road. Due to the lack of cash flow at the moment it definitely won't be this year but I'll do what I can. I was lucky enough to find a couple of spare fenders and a set of Mopar Magnum rims that my dad had intended to put on the car instead of the Keystones. I talked to my neighbor who's going to help me haul it over to my place sometime this week so I'm pretty pumped to start tearing it down. With the Great Lakes Tri-State Mopar show in Albion, Pa. tomorrow I'm definitely feeling an urgency to get this going again.
