I know what your saying about attempting a repair. Sometimes you may want to leave well enough alone. The potential to make the problem worse than better definitely exists. In this case however the decision was a no brainer. I mean when I bought this car, it was a complete basket case, and completely unrecognisable from the condition you see here. I should have taken some pictures but I didn't. The car had been sitting for years behind a junk store in lower South Central area of LA. I had observed it and studied it for probably a three year period as it just sat. At the time I started getting interested and involved with the restoration of some cars. It wasn't for a few years and garnering of a fair amount of experience that I began to see the potential of this wreck and decided that for me this could be doable. The guy wanted $3000 bucks for the thing and after a few years of thinking about it and having a better understanding for the value and the appreciation of an A car I offered him $2700. He accepted my offer.
Oh yeah, I'll do a search on turn switches. I'm sure there's a way to straighten that out too.
