Garage
Heres a pic of my cab:



Its even dustier now, this pic is 12 years old. I was rearranging things so to park the MB in garage.

The Cab is '64 C, has about 135,000 miles on it, its my 4th, had a '65 coupe, '62 roadster, & a '51 coupe before this one which I got in 1st week of Jan 1971. The guy I got it from had taken it to 'Earl Sheib" for an 'Apollo Blue' paint job. I had a friend (autobody man at local Chev dealorship) re paint it to original color (# on door jamb color=white). He called me one night to come look at it, it looked like a zippo lighter! He had gone to bare metal (+ small patches of orig primer). It took him a few weeks to find proper 'white' paint. this was in 1982. I was married w/ 2 kids and this was not a car for that, so I parked it (inside) ever since and am FINALLY getting around to getting it on the road. The tires have aprox 1,200 miles & are rotten, new pistons & liners (K-S), & valve job with about 800 miles on them. It probably needs a LOT of new seals, gaskets, etc. What do/does anyone recomend??
