The car went to the chassis shop, came home and sat in the garage a bare shell for the last 15 years. I decided to get it going for my uncle. All he has to do is pay for parts, im donating all my labor.

I loaded it on my trailer with my winch and had 3 guys help me get it into my driveway. this was the first attempt for it to move under its own power.


Looks like the chassis shop guy did a shoddy job and got lucky since nobody tried to drive the car for 15 years. That is a bummer but it can all be fixed. Just going to cost some money and some time.
