Going to change the fuel sender, & install the new rear brake junction block in the coming days. I hope to be cruising at least once this summer. Yes I took some pics with it on the trl. I wanted to get some floor pan shots. It drove off the trailer without having to bottle feed it without an aux. gas can. More pics. to follow as I progress. Fingers crossed.

Looks good and I bet it felt awesome to get it out of storage. Good luck with the project and hope you get to drive it this summer.

Plan for now is to get the fuel issue resolved, replace the front brake hoses, rear brake hose/ junction block, & bleed the brakes. Put the stock air cleaner back on. Really just a once over. She got neglected the last 2 yrs.. The car is solid with original paint,dings,scratches, & yes some rust in the 1/4's. I've owned her almost 30yrs. now.

Thanks again Dave. The pics are from this spring when I picked it up from winter storage & before I replaced the fuel sender. Since then I replaced rt. front tire, pass. side exhaust donut, dimmer switch, & gave it a long over due bath.
