Hey I did not smash a finger !

I actually finished a Major project with out Smashing a finger. I have had insulation to finish the ceiling in the Garage where the P/O had not insulated for about 3 years . I got it installed and no smashed fingers! This is one more thing done in the Garage i dont have to find a place for . I did use a Hammer, Staple Gun, Electric Drill (to drive some screws). in this project.

It is alive

I have been cleaning in My Garage the last couple of weeks. Yesterday I got the Nova uncovered and decided to see if it would start. Put a battery in it, checked the oil, and it turned over /no start. Then I cleaned and set the points in the distributer. I primed the carburater and turned the key and it fired up ! I then put some gas in the tank ( it did not run out). Called My nephew Kenny (left message). called my nephew Mike (left message ), Then I called Lonny my Brother in Law he was with me when I bought it in 1983 ! I got to talk to him. Mike called later.
The Brakes need to have new wheel cylinders before I even Think about moving it under its own power. The good thing is it runs , sounds good, and the gas tank don't leak. I think I might clean more in the Garage. Who knows what else i will get the urge to play with. The 5 antique engines, 6 Garden tractors, or the Nova , or use the woodworking machines, They all call my Garage home. I might just get busy !
