Yes, that is the "90 day rule". If she doesn't catch you in 3 months, it's yours and you have had it for as long as you can remember. :lol:

I can pick it up and store it for you while you break it to Mrs. Acme gently. :pot:

Wow Alex, that looks pretty straight and rust free. Bummer that its there. You know Pick-A-Part will sell you any car in the yard for $800. Just sayin'.


EDIT: As a side note that Nash in Pick-A-Part would be killer with some steam rollers and a Buick Grand National V6. :pot:

It’s at Ecology Auto in Wilmington. I’m saving my pennies to get the bird painted. I’ve changed directions with the project and now I want to build an A12 tribute/clone/look-alike whatever. I’m close since it’s an A31 car and it already has a healthy 440.

It did look good. I didn’t look at it all the way around or paid much attention to the interior. But it can be used to put the convertible on the other thread back to stock.

I won’t have time to work on the power steering leak until January. So I say by mid-January she will be ready! I just got a folder with dyno data sheets that my buddy got from the engine builder. Looks like the engine builder did 19 runs changing timing/carbs/spacers/gas and the best run from what I can tell was 550 tq and 509hp at 5500rpm. So I’m itching to see what she’ll do on the strip. :beep: :beep: :beep:
