Whats just as bad is right in the middle of a project you need a particular fitting, bolt, part, whatever. You know you have one somewhere but...
Hemi in the Barn and Cobra in the Barn are good reads.
Nothing that can't be cut out and replaced if the price is right. I'd offer him $600.00 and see what he says.
Did you search for timing light on eBay. There are close to 200 right now. Starting as low as 2 bucks.
Looks real good as is. No way would I chop it.
The Olds is a FAR better deal. I'd buy it for $1200.00 over a $1600.00 Plymouth 4 door all day long......
I use to buy it all the time back in the 70's.
Another deal will come along.
Compression, cam, headers, and the money to build it.
It ran when parked.......
I don't think the front end is where the problem would be. It would be the rear suspension. Hard to say without hooking up A 5TH wheel trailer and...
If the "price" is right I never pass on a deal. I have lots of empty space in my field.
A 3500 dually? It would not be a problem pulling a 5th wheel 3 car hauler with that but if it's lowered it would probably be a problem.
What truck would you use?
Pull the timing cover and check the gears to see if the marks still line up
Looks like you need: A: A bigger trailer. B: Need to make 2 trips. C: Need someone else with another trailer to follow you.
Was it running driving fine and then it started running bad before you started doing anything?
I guess it depends on how bad it's bent. I would think it will vibrate the car so much stuff will start falling off
You should have had someone keep calling it while you walked around the yard. My daughter has lost her phone twice. Once while hiking. We called...
Did the same thing to my 51 Merc 4 door.
The thing to do is go back at the end of the day. Most of the over priced stuff will still be there and that's when you can start making low...

Yea I also saw what looked like stacks of old magazines in there. Might be old Hot Rods, Hop Up, etc. I saw some old Matchbox or Hot Wheels cases...
I want to see the engine it fits!
Try filling it with sand.
If his prices are "right" I see a bunch of stuff I'd be hauling out of there.

That's the one thing I have never done. Always end up buying interior "kits" or having it done. I might have to give it a try. Where did you get...
What about using a bigger diameter tubing and slitting it all the way around with a cutoff wheel for the mesh to fit inside? I guess it might get...
Most any gasket sealer you can get at the parts store will work fine. The trick is to make sure everything is CLEAN, staright/flat, and as pit...
