new in texas...

me and my 2 boys (14 and 16) picked up a 51 fleetline deluxe 2 weeks ago.they decided to learn a little from dad instead of staring at video games all the time!now i have to remember all that i forgot(been away from pulling wrenches for the last 10 yrs. because of different career).they are really doing a good job and alot of interest in learning(and its starting to come back to me too!)ride is not bad,350/400 monte carlo rear end,lots do but a good running start so they dont loose interest.pretty sure a drunk monkey wired it....no fuse block but ALOT of in line fuses! wish us luck!tried to put new windshields in tonight(came with car) but bout 1 1/2 in too tall...prob.for styleline if my guess is right.looking forward to some good discussions and hopefully some advice.
