Welcome to my first restoration project. I am documenting it for everyone to see and hopefully learn from, also to increase the value of the car if I have to sell it (over my dead body) . Hopefully this will be an invaluable resource to others like me who are just getting started. I have no prior skill with auto mechanics, I just jumped right it. So here it is. Learn from the Internet just like I have.
