still interested in selling or trading my panel for something else but I decided not to let it just sit there. I have it running better and close to having brakes. Also ground some of the body filler out where someone made a bad attempt of repairing dents. If nothing comes along I may drive it soon. I'm not trying to sell here just letting everyone know I'm working on it again, So I'll be asking questions again soon.

If it runs and has brakes, you're good to go aren't you? I haven't been at mine either since the spring, time to get at it for me too.

..... ragtopwally, let me know if I can be of any help. I left you a PM about a guy calling me and asking me if I wanted to buy a 53 panel. He saw it in Greer,S.C. and after some discussing I thought you had sold yours.
Good luck. You can drive it to the Southern Stovebolt Reunion this coming May

Not quite good to go,still have to get all the lights and the charging system going. I believe I'm going to put an hei distributor in it a friend gave me because the vacuum advance and octane selector do not work on my original. Also I think I'm going to use a alternator instead of my 12v. generator.

first ride with brakes much more fun than first drive when I got it running
