Before trying to get it to fire, make sure you go through the engine first. You should drop the oil pan and get the crud out of it. Also check the fuel system before get a bunch of nasty stuff in the filter and possibly the carb. You can bypass the gas tank and run it off a gas can if the tank is bad.

Great looking car to start with. I would keep it original, but that's just my opinion. Look forward to seeing your progress!

Hope you downloaded the service manual from this site. It will be very helpful.
