I'll have more to report on the drive train in a week or so. Everything appears intact, the engine turns over, and the transmission seems operable. Once we pick up the radiator we'll try to get the engine running. I had the wheels powder coated and installed tires, so at least now it is up off the rims.

We are seeing a little improvement in appearance. The wheels were powder coated and new tires have been mounted. At least we can push it now. The bumpers and grill were nickel plated and will be installed once we get it running. Here are a few more photos.If anyone has a hubcap I could really use one.
