Re: my new car :)
Expectant looks from the local mechanic, no doubt. It's a '63, isn't it? Or a '62. Badgework, IIRC, tells me '63. My first car was a '61 Falcon. What do you plan to do with her? g.

Re: my new car :)
lol - shall we pipe a new oil line directly to your house?
 only joking, looks like a nice project - as they say, they certainly don't build 'em like they used to now

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
Re: my new car :)
you lucky thing - 'she' is beautiful !!!!
I love old cars - they have a personality that new ones just don't !! I'm sure you'll both be very happy together, but make sure you treat the rust pretty soon - I'm learning by experience how sneaky and nasty it really is Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships! -Ansel Adams

Thank You
Re: my new car :)
she definitely has personality!
and ur right, they just dont build them like they used to. glen, i dont actually know, my guess is the 170ci... it does have super pursuit badges on the front quarters which could mean the 200ci, but of course that doesnt always count for much, i will do a bit more research into the engine numbers on thursday when i spend the day giving her a much needed cut and polish Nathan
