This is very important!
After starting it a few times and getting to Temperature, I'll remove the Engine/Transmission and put a new Rear Main Seal in behind the Flywheel.
Then back to the DMV to get current Registration.
At that time either the Car will have to get Historical Vehicle Plates to avoid the Smog Laws or the Car will have to be re-registered as an older Vehicle to avoid them.
The Car is rarely driven so it's a real drag to have to conform to current Smog Specs.

So happy I found this thread. Any intentions on bringing it to a show or taking it out driving down the line once all is said and done? Would kill to see it in person. Glad to hear you're keeping 'er alive.
My 'Mulholland' hotrod project is underway, and will hopfully be in my hands soon, although it won't be seeing Mulholland too much--I've found early morning ACH/Malibu drives to be much more pleasurable. '69 911t, '67 aluminum block with webers, and a decent amount of suspension modifications. Hope to see some of you guys out there.
Many thanks to everyone that contributed their stories, and of course to Derek for starting this thread however many years ago. This has been a wonderful read.
