I saw a large folded paper (I'm thinking Map or sign) tucked into the quarter panel so I carefully fish it up and out....

To borrow from MCG... How cool is that!

The PO of my Swinger did the same with the sheets, he laminated one copy and left the other plain.

This car had all kinds of cool stuff.
Lunch box, original hoses, a single head gasket, chevy gaskets, several volatage regulators, enough copper to recycle and buy some paint LOL.

Hoping to find the next sheet, hoping in the 4spd hump. I have a snap on inspection camera (bore scope) and did a little recon with it.

Where does one get the acid free sheets?

Staples or office depot have sheet protectors. I bought a box of them. Art store might have singles.

I've had some REALLY brittle ones, just have to be careful when you load them into the protector.

I'll check on that. Scott Smith schooled me I tried to call him prior to that but he was with otherwise occupied, so I just did it

This little time capsule is a trip

Busy morning, I was up in the middle of the night for my trunk expedition, because over 20 years you can misplace some keys

At 9 I called to tow the "Short Bus" while I'm in route ahead of the truck my MIL calls

There's a woman who see's my car at my FIL's occasionally and she bugs my FIL for my car allot. Well I loaded and moved the blue car while I had the car trailer here but I left it on the trailer at my FIL's. So guess whose there when I show up? I only wanted it because it had AC. It might be gone..... So in 2hrs I left, got to the WHALE, got it towed' then got it in the yard and maybe sold a car making money and room too bad it's not worth what the Swinger is ...even out

A quick cell phone shot with the car (Don't worry I'm older than I look, think military retired/a kid in College)

Ok I'm thinking a gallon of evapo-rust (or maybe someones homemade lemon juice formula??) and a drain pan underneath the trunk to catch any dripping and place a few items in the trunk well too help raise the level and derust them too?

Ok pics with a scale to follow if so, keep it coming Scott....teach me OB1. This one scares me. I don't want to mess up a good opportunity. In the right hands and with ample time and cash this one could be a real winner

Muu Muu I didn't really find it... more like it found me in a way. I keep saying coincidence is all around me these days. I spent ALL day hanging out with a military friend from pre-89. As he pulls up I get a call from the Goat he was supposed to come by today too. Turns out my old friend worked with Goats wife once in another state. BEAT THAT We went and drank beer at the Goats, yeah he'll be up late fixing the car he was on LOL

Scott if this looks OK I have larger pics that reference both size and location of stampings. Want the entire mat to detail it?

Message me...

I fix an old ladies car for free (in less than an hr)after she had two quotes averaging $1500 and then the "someday" car calls, good karma

Another example for Scott

Passenger side deck lid stripe wrap around

just documenting this car and sharing for others if they have interest

The bubbling was caused by dirt/debri that built up in the drip rail. Drip rail looks ok, should clean up. I suspect if not for that and the bad trunk well lip seal the spare tire well might be near mint
