Joe you are spot on.
I stopped showing it following my spine injury in 2017.
It languished on the trailer all that time. Just recently I tossed in a battery and fresh gas. No spark but by filing the points it touched right off. Not too shabby. It drove off under it's own power with two helplessly rotted out 60 year old rear tires. Aside from new tires and a good cleaning up that is all it needed and is ready to go once more. I have been too busy to take it up the driveway and give it a good purging out.
The trailer did not fair so well and it's getting a top to bottom rebuild.

The floor was rotted and I'm lucky that when backing out that I did not punch through. The 1/2 flooring is being replaced by 3/4 ground contact. I have stained both sides of those sheets. One bearing hub got water contaminated. New bearings for that side and new seals for both. Tires and wheels are going to get replaced, they are over 20 years old. The wiring was a mess and what better time to straighten that out than when the floors are off. There are multiple welds on the sides that are cracked and need rework, one much more than the other.
Talk about opening up a can of worms, ugh. Too far into it to back off now. I'm going to have more cash into this thing then when it was new.
