Great find, so far you have owned two cars that I plan to buy/build. Late second gen TA and an early second gen Camaro. This one looks like it is going to be fun to watch.

I got the car running today, it sounded great and ran strong for the few seconds it was going. I thought there was gas in the tank so I disconnected it and just dumped gas down the carb. Since there was no gas in the tank, I am going to get an inline filter, hook the tank back up and run it like that just to get it going. I stripped one of the bolts for the gas tank so I couldn't drop it out. I will drop the tank before I really start driving it though.

The wiring harness is a mess so that will be fun. None of the lights work right now but it's probably something simple.

Sounds good Trey... and yes -- an inline filter would be a good addition -- and maybe a bottle of "gas dryer" just in case some water has gotten in there...'


But a couple of cans of your favorite bolt and nut liquid wrench -- and start spraying anything you think you might be unbolting... it never hurts to have it soaking - the longer the better.

X2^^^ get that stuff soaking asap! My 70 has stuff so nasty I had to start cutting bolt heads off. A LOT of them. Soak it all before you try to remove more. You will be glad you did.

Trey --

And get a tetanus shot!

In fact - anyone working with rusty metal should get one -- or at least a booster!

Especially if the car has been stored around a "dirty" area...

Many people believe injuries caused by rusty nails are the most dangerous. This is true only if the nail is dirty as well as rusty, as is usually the case. It is the dirt, not the rust, that carries the risk for tetanus.

I love PB Blaster for a rust penetrating spray. Glad to car runs.

What??? Be safe????? We don't need no stinkin shots! A little electical tape to hold the wound shut and some Neosporin, done! And forget saftey glasses too, that rust in the eyes builds character :thumbsup:


:rofl:

Electrical tape? That's sooooooo old school dude!! I use SUPER GLUE!

There's a cadillac in the back that if you walk 10 feet near it you will get struck down with tetnus.. Lol it's that bad..


Uh.. Anyone have any links to people doing custom turbo builds from scratch? :_paranoid My teacher is going to show us how to custom make headers and exhaust.. I think paint can wait. :D Need to get some dog dish hubcaps though.. Would be a cool sleeper.


Anyways the brakes work also so now I just have to connect the shifter and get a couple gallons of gas..

Had a long day at work, but I was excited to come home and check out the forums. I was especially looking forward to seeing if you got the Camaro running. Nice work.
