Well it took all F'N day but I got the possible 74 LE car home. The frozen steering problem was fixed
when I found Nine (9) sets of keys in a box full of parts, yep it was the last key I tried that got the ignition to turn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Next major issue was all the wheels are frozen solid, as in, won't turn. Had to drag the car 75+ feet to clear the house so we could get to the trailer. The next trick was to get it on the trailer. I nice neighbor lets use use his 1 1/2 ton come-a-long to help pull it up on the trailer. Next task after getting home is to get it off the trailer. Stopped by Menards and bought 2 sets of wheel dollies. These work get!!!! took us 2 1/2 hours to get the car on the trailer, 20 min to get it off and in the garage. So it's here. I am amazed that we didn't pull it in half, but we did open up the door gaps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here are a few pics. -Garold Attached image(s)
