I just bought a 1953 Clipper Deluxe. It's been asleep for 7 years. The gas in the tank is still gas. I siphoned it out last week. The head was cracked and leaked water onto the top of the head and shorted out the first 2 plugs. He turned it off and then became ill for 3 years (unrelated). I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and he sold me his beauty. I'm thinking to have the head removed, magnifluxed and put back on. If it has a short crack it can be repaired. If not I'll buy another one. I just magnifluxed the one I bought last September 2016 and it has a 6 inch crack in it and can't be repaired. What should I look for when the head is off. He said the car was always a perfect driver, rebuilt engine with 40k on it and rebuilt trans with 25k on it. I'm ordering new radiator hoses and a new thermostat. All fluids will be changed too. Can you suggest anything else to look for? Thank you for your replies, Brenda, Long Beach, CA

Hi Everyone, I just bought a 1953 Clipper Deluxe. It is SWEET! It needs a battery. I looked at Deka but it is too high. Can you recommend a 6 V Group 2, Positive ground? What battery is best?
