Thanks. The whole reason behind this thread is for showing essentially an "unrestored" car and what it looks like with how close I can get it back to the way the factory did it.
I actually got the engine running and all timed today. Amazing what happens when you have the proper amount of oil in it. I guess the lifters bled down and with manually turning the engine over, it squeezed what little oil might have been in there out. I think the engine took a total of 6 quarts after running it the first time and stopping it.
Looks & sounds great

................... My goal is to bring the car back to the way the factory would have done it with keeping all of the characteristics and documenting the way how the factories assembled and built these cars.
