Just a quick update.....
Car is back home in South Carolina! Putting new tires on today (wheels in pics are rollers to sit the car on until I get the wheel back). Have only driven a few miles so far. Tires are really bad and I didn't feel comfortable going too far.
Engine runs good and I'm looking forward to taking it out on a long run this evening. The only issue right now is a coolant leak manifesting itself on the bottom of the exhaust around the water pump area. Charlie replaced several hoses and the coolant tank so one of the clamps probably didn't seal properly. I couldn't find it with my super strong LED flashlight so will probably have to pull the air cleaner to see what is going on.
After coolant leak repair next step is a good detailing including polishing the headlights and a little driver seat leather repair.
All the credit goes to Charlie for getting this car back on the road! Thank you! Without his effort it would still be gathering dust in my warehouse.
