Sadly I've gone to supposed "reliable" mechanics in the past only to find out they weren't. It looks pretty nice what are your concerns? Maybe we can walk you through some stuff? These old cars don't have much to them. They're not like new cars with sensors and whatnot.
Thanks. I might take you up on that. I just acquired the car so I am going to start with changing all the fluids, plugs, wires, fuel filters as well as any "standard " basic tune up items.
Right now it runs but very rough. There seems to be a few small leaks that i need to investigate. One looks to be power steering hose. The exhaust has a bit of a stale smell to it and there seems to be a bit more smoke when I start it up...
I was hoping to get it up on a lift to look underneath as well as I think based on smell that there might be a bit of an exhaust leak...
Now I know that this is a 50 year old car so I am realistic in the belief that all of these items will need addressing... thus the hope to connect with someone to let me know if it is just those items or a whole bunch more.
Brakes are on the list but I am considering a 4 wheel disc conversion just to give me piece of mind.
Anything else you think I should be looking at?
I am no expert but willing to learn.
Thanks,
Steven
