  2. Wheel and sunvisor still look good. Just can't trust those old recap/retread tires.

    There have been a number of cars with Tet**** in the name. This one is truly worthy.

    quite the channel...
    the steering column to frame support is overkill for sure...

    When are you going to drive it

    You got your work cut out for you with that one… what do you think, 2-3 weeks and you’re driving it?

    I'm impressed by the "remote" solenoid.

    Some cool details here, the left handed gear shift, criss-cross tie rod, oversized cowl vent and the quarter panel scoop for cooling the rear brakes. The plug wires look good, just snap them back on and fire it up. Might need a new fan belt though.

    I must have gotten spoiled, lazy, tired over the years, hard for me to see anything but a pile.

  19. I’m doubting it was ever finished.

    But more proof bad welding is traditional.

    That little car is actually not that terrible. If you can kind of unfold the door skin and quarter a bit you might be able to get away with regular quarter patches and door skins. I bet that is one of those cars that gets better the more you look at it rather than worse.

    You are a wuss if you don't buy it.

  24. My neighbor probably wished we did
