It's like you walked onto a used car lot in ~'72 and bought this car. It's that clean! Now that brings back some memories......

Looks fantastic !! Thanks! It's been a lot of fun. The first 40 miles were spent doing 30-40mph and it's a joy to drive. Since it has been reliable, I finally ventured onto the highway for the first time and if I go 55mph or faster it runs hot. When I slow down it cools off quickly so I think my exhaust is so restricted, it's forcing the exhaust back into the engine. It's 2 into one exhaust with one solitary glass pack....so I guess new exhaust is up next!!

Been a while since I have been in Newton! Check the lower radiator hose and see if collapses when accelerating, seen this a few times. Just have someone stab the accelerator when you are looking at the hose in your driveway. It has been a long time since you've been here-maybe 4 years already??? I will check the radiator house out-thanks for the suggestion!

Great find, great story.....looks like a keeper!!
I'm a fan of discs too, though the drums are perfectly suitable for the driving you plan to do.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.
