Woo-hoo! 

My recently acquired '64 Polara convertible  runs! 

About six months ago a good friend decided to get out of cars  due to health 
issues and loss of enthusiasm(he picked another expensive  hobby-guns). He 
sold me the car without an engine but otherwise complete for  $3000. Lots of 
bondo but it looks good going down the road. I also bought  another car('64 440 
wagon converted to 2 door) and a lot of parts and sold a  bunch of stuff for 
him. 

Early last week I got the car home. We spent  Thursday cleaning out the nests 
from under the seats since it sat for the last  year or so. Saturday 
afternoon the girlfriend and I started cleaning up a 383  I already had in 
anticipation of getting it into the convertible. Threw on  some new paint and the next 
thing I know I'm digging out parts. New clutch,  pressure plate and flywheel I 
had leftover from another build. Some new  mounts, hoses and filters. Replaced 
the cobbled together crossmember for the  4-speed with one I had in my stash. 

As of 12:50AM On April 1st it  roared to life briefly. I only fired it for a 
few seconds to spare the  neighborhood the noise of open headers. With a large 
smile on my face, I went  to bed. 

Today I buttoned up the exhaust and a few other bits and went  around the 
block. Then across town. The I remembered that while it's still  tagged in my 
buddy's name, there's no insurance! Home we went. 

To do:  
subframe connectors! This car needs them so bad the driver's door won't  open 
right. 
remove and fix leaky driver's side header 
install oil and  temp senders 
hook up heater hoses 
replace leaking master cylinder  
fix gauge lights 
disc brake swap and add swaybar 
finish cleaning  up engine compartment 
fix hacked wiring 
and lots more. 

I  haven't thrashed this hard on a car in years and I'm a hurtin' pup. 42 
seems  like 80 tonight. Good thing I'm going out of town this weekend and won't 
have  to pick up a single tool.
