great start
wow, what a great start for a 16 yr old. My father bought me my first car when I was 16 (1972) it was a 1967 Mercury Cougar for $300.. It will be fun to get it running and get it back to original, it will take some money & time, but ask for help on this forum and FEP and your friends. Dont get discouraged, some days will be frustrating. Good luck.

I will save a lot of money by doing stuff myself and with the help of my dad. I have learned a lot on this forum (knowing what to look for like equipment mounting holes and a lot more).

These times when you are documenting are some of the most necessary and critical things you have to do to keep track of what is going on during a restoration. Sam, you are doing a great job and keep those photos coming!
Keep up the good work, I'm sure your dad is proud of you too! A chip off the old block in a manner of speaking.

 The piggy is sick!!Put some gas in the tank, turned the key and it sputtered to life again. Poor thing ran like it was having a seizure and was blowing dark grey smoke out the pipes  Good thing is is that it runs The carb was dumping gas in and flooding the engine(probably why it ran horrible along with left over bad gas).This car will be much easier to restore than my 84 GT, it will go a lot faster too since it is complete (I have a large parts list for the 84, it is at around 5k with new parts).
