Finding out what is good, what is bad, what can be fixed,,,
I think I can make the engine run, it is not locked up.
The drivers door would not latch when we picked her up, some vibration and PB blaster and it now shuts! There is going to be lots of clean up on her. And there are other things ahead of her. Brake cylinder failed on the 49, thats priority, the 63 galaxy 500 gets new door seals, the 40 chevy radio stopped working, its fun working for a collector!
