Your car looks very nice in the photos, better than mine. Good luck with it. This is a good site to exchange information, every one is very helpful. Ck some of the previous posts regarding the things to be considered when getting a car that has been sitting a long time up and running and road worthy.

Are you sure the speed and odometer are accurate? Two of my cars read slow. The cable or speedo head are probably gumed up in mine as the have set for long periods of time. My next step is to lube them with penetreting oil.

The smoking may go away after you can drive it. You'll need to put a load on the engine to seat the rings. That can hapen in 15 to 30 minutes. Find a place you can drive and acclerate with a little brake preasure aplied to keep the engine under load. This assumes fresh oil with an additive for the first few drives and checking the dip stick for any thing unusual.

How about a question and answer period of some current problem or past solution to electrical, gas, engine/ trans, upholstery, body work, etc.

JD thanks for the descriptive details and suggestions. And to the previous post. The car is a 51 coupe that is gutted and I haven't verified the tags. So it could be a business coupe or a club coupe. Will look and see if there are welded bracket for a back seat. My other 51 is a business coupe with a back seat and it is going back close to factor specs, but will retain the back seat. Picked up a water pump from Rudy so with a few hours work it should be on the road for some short try out trips. The transfer car that will become a convertable needs a little more planning and measuring. Might do just a front clip and motor transplant with all modern equipment. Might do a lift off aluminum frame canvas top to avoid the trunk hydralicks and storage space headaces.

Well we have something in common. I have a Town Car that may get similar treatment. But minus a top. Could use some tips if you are willing to share. Haven't found a Darrin so building a convertable is a second best idea. Will use a business coupe and like the 54 front end also.
