Dieing battery
well today my son went to go and move his 44 out of the garage so he could work on the motorcycles and when he goes to start it the battery is dead. This has happened a few other times to since we got it. The car is my sons (he payed in complete for it) and he hasnt gotten his permit for him to take it out with me yet. so the car sits in the garage all the time next to my 28 the car holds a ful carge for about 2 days and then starts to loose the carge from there it will hold enough charge to start for about 10 days and then the battery needs to be charged! any tips?

These cars are famous for draining the batteries. If you have access to a digital multi-meter, try testing accross each fuse for a current drain. Try checking all the grounds you can find and make sure they are clean and secure.
Make sure the alternator output is good (if low, a voltage regulator is only $20) and check the battery cables are in good condition. If they are original, I'd replace them.
you may want to try contacting Dan Wray (Iceshark) as he may have some cable sets available.

Get a trickle charger (1 or 2 amp) and keep it plugged in all the time. I have mine wired in directly to the battery and mounted using the battery hold down bolt. Makes a world of difference for the 4-5 months of winter when I don't drive it.
