'74 142 is on the road! 140-160 1974

Finally, the 142 is on the road. I'm still sorting out some things, but got it to run and, as of yesterday, got it to brake and got most of the lights working. It's had a few runs around the neighborhood and will slowly be increasing its driving radius in the coming weeks. Once it proves reliable, then I start looking into things like shocks, etc. It has KYB Gas Adjusts on it, but who knows how old, and it feels like it has an incredible amount of body roll, BUT this is the first I've driven it, so maybe that's normal.

Also, my exhaust is exiting after the front muffler (which looks fairly new) and is quite loud. It looks like some creative exhaust work was done in getting that in there, and I can't tell if they ever hooked it up, or if they just left it this way?!? Oh well, that's fairly easy...
