No need, those tires are 20 years old, they need to be replaced anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Started the fixing process today. Took the gas cap off and she is about 3/4 full and smells like a tub of varnish. I took the carbs off and am ordering rebuild kits for them. What was strange though is the fact that the 2 outer studs on the intakes were replaced with bolts and the center still had the stud and nut. I will try and get the tank drained next and then remove it for cleaning. Looks like it is going to be a slow process but eventually I will get Betsy running again I hope.

I dropped the gas tank off yesterday to get it boiled out and cleaned. Now I am pondering getting it powder coated but most likely will just prime and paint it.

Carbs have also been removed and I have already aquired the rebuild kits for them. This will happen once I return from the Solo Nationals in Lincoln, Ne in 10 days. I still need to drain the brake system and get all frsh fluid. Car has stainless brake lines but I still need toreplace the ones going to the top of the master cylinder. Also need to buy new fuel lines. She won't be running as quickly as I'd like for her to be but Betsy is coming along nicely.

She now is running. The carbs have been rebuilt, the brake fluid flushed and replaced with fresh. A new fuel pump has been installed. New plugs, fresh oil change with Brad Penn 20/50. Now to get the throttle cable fixed so I can take her for a road test.

I have been working on Betsy a little at a time for a few weeks now. We have managed to get her running but still had throttle problems. Fixed the throttle problem by replacing the pedal cluster and also having a friend do a little welding. Thinking we were close to completion with this we tried to start her up only to find we were no longer getting gas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Tonight we tackled that problem and after installing the 3rd, yes, I said 3rd, new fuel pump she was ready to run again. To our dismay we once again had no throttle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) With a little work from my friend Ken(7275914911) we had throttle again. Reached in, turned the key and the magic began. Betsy came to life once again and seems to be running very smoothly. So after 20 years of hibernation in a garage, Betsy moved again for the first time under her own power. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Only drove her around the block a couple of times but she really was smooth. Still need a clutch adjustment and a few other minor things done and then she will be ready to go once she gets new tires.
