@anthony myrick did you buy it?
Back in the 1970's drag raced whatever I could get into. Best was an old 1951 Thames panel van that started with a nailhead and was last ran with...
Another vote for purple here.
Fuel pump. Had one years ago and the little return spring was broke. Ran fine until I sold it and was still going last week with the tick.
Relax. Breath. Chill. Get back when you get your head back in the game. It is purely mechanical and made by man so it can be fixed by man. Take a...
You could always mold them in glass and attach them to paint body color. Seems easier than what Billy did if you want a more stock look and not...
Good eye and call for the dry rot. Good enough for rollers but definitely don't take them on the road. You don't want to risk what you have done.
Boat anchor.;)
Check your valves, then timing as setting the dwell first will change as you advance or retard the distributer. Yes all after the vacuum leak

Elvis had a pink Cadillac:p. I think.:D
Excellent! too bad you had to do it but you got it running. Great choice getting on to the brakes before deciding on driving it.;)

1922 Dodge truck.:D
Looks like it still has the flatty in it. Either rebuild it with some go fast parts or put in a 49-52 flatty in and party on.

With the 34 1/4" spread between the windshield posts it is very possibly a 1917 Pontoldbuchcadgm. Very rare and since it is not broken worth...
