Since bringing the car home on August 28 I have rebuilt the brakes (all new seals, pads/shoes, and three of six brake lines), had radiator flushed out, all new cooling hoses, new gas tank, hand brake cable, and cleaned things up a bunch. This picture shows the front end with the clip and radiator removed. Found water pump leaked, installed used one from Huntingburg friend. Changed oil in engine, then cranked enough to show over 140psi compression and 20 psi oil pressure. About 11/8 I got it to start, barely, later replaced plugs on 11/15 and it starts much better now.
