Thanks everyone!

Regarding the question of have the steering box re-built….

I do have a good amount of play in the wheel. It certainly got a work out for years! The car sat in my dad’s garage for my entire childhood (he stopped driving it in 1965). All through the 70s and early 80s, me and the neighbor kids played “gangster” in the car, complete with our candy cigarettes, bubble gum cigars, and toy machine guns. There was always someone playing “get away driver” and working the wheel!

For now, I will just take care of the leak. My primary goal is to get things working and get the car drivable enough to be included in my son’s wedding pictures at the end of March.

After that, I’ll start tackling things in a more complete manner piece by piece while still being able to drive it some in between “projects”.
