Thanks Tim & Buddy.

Jerry McNeish will have the distributor by the weekend and will set it up and spin it for me. Should be finished up in time for delivery to MCACN where I'll pick it up. Plan is coming together nicely.

LMAO

Love that last part. I can totally relate!

Hey Graeme, just curious if it has the original gas tank. I picked one up with a bunch of other parts recently from a late '69 dated "5 70". My pro-touring friends throw away lots of nice stuff !

Rob,

It has the original dated tank but it has a pretty good dent in the bottom of it and likely isn't worth saving. I do have one other original but too early of a date to use for this car. I was thinking of running a new Spectra tank until I find a suitable original with a later date. If you see a late original out there please keep me in mind or reach out as I'd love to find a better one for this car.

Here's the early one that a friend passed along to me a few years ago.

This one is yours for the taking if you want it. Planning a visit to North Carolina anytime soon?

The tank is out of a 9D Norwood car. Those are just dirt marks on the bottom that looks like scratches and blue over spray from somebodies 2nd paint job. I can check the inside but there is a locking cap. And who better to ask! What's the easiest way to get it off without damage ?

Sorry to cluttered up your thread. I can delete some of these pics after you have a look. But not the one with Moon in it

Hey Graeme...did you find the source of the "smell" yet?

Hey Mark...

I've checked the car out including the cowl plenums and fan housing. No mice, no nests, no nothing (but I did find one of the original key code knockouts that found it's way under the carpet). There's no evidence of mice anywhere so it might just be the smell of mothballs as I suspected.



I found a color safe chemical call AGI (pronounced Aggy) for treating carpet and fabric that has live enzymes and will neutralize the odor both in the nylon twist as well as airborne. Once I spray the carpet and seat backs I will vacuum it up after a couple hours of dry time and button it all back up again. I'll then put a couple pie plates of coffee grinds out and leave that for a week or so. If there's any smell lingering after that, another trick I was told is to use a suggested dry-cleaning spray on the headliner to take it to the next level. In the mean time, I'll wipe down the vinyl after it's back together and see if that neutralizes everything. I'm trusting this approach will work great.

Let me think on the tank and leaving the pics there is fine Rob. I might take you up on that one and truly appreciate the offer. Moon is looking pretty happy there. It's gotten cold here today and snowed a bunch last night so Düss is having a nap here right now. He's like a horse this guy!
