THERE ARE A FEW MINOR PAINT CHIPS IN THE BLACK AREAS ESPECIALLY ON TOP OF THE LEFT FENDER THAT HAS BEEN TOUCHED UP. THE BODY SIDE MOLDINGS WERE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A CUSTOM PAINT. THE UNDER-CARRIAGE, LOOR PANS, RUNK PAN, NNER AND OUTER SILLS, NNER FENDERS, TC. ARE RUST-FREE. THE UNDER-CARRIAGE IS SPRAYED WITH A RUST PROHIBITIVE PAINT. THE MASSIVE BUMPERS, RILL, ND MISC.

MECHANICAL:

THE ENGINE STARTS IMMEDIATELY EVERY TIME. IT SOUNDS GREAT, DLES GOOD, UNS COOL, ND HAS EXCELLENT OIL PRESSURE. THE ENGINE DOES NOT SMOKE. THERE ARE A FEW DROPS OF OIL BELOW THE ENGINE WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT WHICH IS NO BIG DEAL FOR A 60 YEAR OLD CAR. THE TWO SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GOOD. THE MANUAL BRAKES AND SUSPENSION FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CAR RIDES VERY SMOOTH ON A SET OF ALMOST NEW DAYTON WIRES AND COKER TIRES.

ELECTRICAL:

ALL LIGHTS, URN SIGNALS, AUGES AND HORN WORK. THE HORN BUTTON WAS RELOCATED BELOW THE DASH. THE CUSTOM STEREO SOUNDS GREAT FOR A FAMILY CRUSING NIGHT. ALLA/C COMPONENTS ARE THERE EXCEPT A SMALL KNOB. THE BLOWER FAN WORKS. BY FURTHER INSPECTION WE FOUND OUT THAT SOME OF THE A/C HOSE FITTINGS WERE LOOSE. THE HOSES MAY NEED NEW "O" RINGS AND SYSTEM CHARGED.
