1. Interior floor stripped and seats removed. (Well. such floor as there still is, anyway. Glad to see the recent discussion on repro floor pans.)
2. Engine and engine compartment cleaned.
3. New battery installed. Interior ceiling light works! The horn honks! Starter motor turns. (foot switch or motor doesn't seem to have steady contact when trying to start it.) (bright light indicator and tailights work, too. Every other bulb in the car seems to be burned out.)
4. Engine turns over and fires briefly on the starting fluid sprayed into the carb. (The "fuel system" which currently consists of a 5 quart bottle with gas in it, sitting next to the radiator, and a plastic tube to the fuel pump, apparently still needs a little work. [)] )
What a thrill to hear it run for the first time!
