Sorry Clipper47. I just got back to the computer. Yes. I did a a complete turn key job on this car. I pulled the engine overhauled the engine and transmission. The engine was in fairly good condition. It only had three broken piston ring grooves and burned valves almost all around. We bored it,installed new pistons & rings. new cam bearings reground crank and cam shaft.Installed new valves and valve seats. expansion plugs. Refurbished the distributor. We repainted the front portion of the frame and the firewall. I installed a rebuilt fuel pump, carburetor, water pump. I had the generator and starter rebuilt also. Oh yes a new clutch and pressure plate. I almost forgot we planed the head lightly also. Just enough to flatten it. Then reinstalled the engine and test drove it for about 20 miles. I would have to check my records but I believe this work ran around 7.5K.
