    Slick! I can't see enough photos of that time capsule. You must have gotten the ****** sorted (or at least the old cookie pan in the trunk trick I perfected years ago). Congrats on the award, hold on to that Caddy

    Squirrel and Clunker have good advice, use it. My own - dont take take the car apart. Its a driver, keep it that way, too many cars are taken apart for a resto without the suporting money, time, garage space and end up sitting.

    Do little projects to improve it, but finish them and keep driving. Service the brakes, Polish the bumpers and paint, s***ch up the interior tears so they dont get worse until you can figure out an interior. Clean and paint the engine bay and replace any leaking gaskets etc. Start cleaning and painting the underside of the car.

    Nice looking car, keep it on the road.
