Louis bought “casper” shortly after his wife passed. greasepot engine, leaks and whatnot.
asks if i could fix the oil leaks while he was away on a trip.
pulled it in my garage, pulled valve covers, carb and cleaned everything up. Painted it, and used chrome valve cover hold downs and put on a nice air cleaner i had on the shelf.
Next thing i know, we are pulling engine, getting it rebuilt, 4bbl headers and chrome/polished aluminum all over the place.
Looked really nice. i can take that car any time i want, and drive it like i stole it.
i dont, but i can. Would love to pull it and give it another once over.
