Thanks, Gary.

I'll be keeping i close touch with you about this car becasue I see you are racing one. While I have leaned toward restoring this car to Antique status, mostly stock, the performance driver in me wants to look out for performance mods the car will jously accept.

I have ambitions of getting my competition license next season, but don't yet have a car. Will shop for something over the winter. I could just put the safety stuff into my street-performance 740 turbo, but it's a slow car against Mustangs, Subarus, etc. anyhow.

Right now my concerns on this car are just to get it home reliably, then tend almost immediately to its beginning rust issues (rear wheel arches), interior and paint.

I'll do a compression and leak down test, go through the brakes, change fluids, etc.

For the drive home, yeah, I guess I'll add a bottle of lead.

Thanks for you advice and information.
