I like to thank you all for the info. I get here. It sure is a help. I drove my 60 Lark last week for the first time, and thru weekend. I put on about 400 miles. The car sat for 10/12 years. The motor wasn't froze, but it had a bad crank. I did find a 62 engine with low miles, but it was froze bad. I was able to use the crank on my flathead, and it does great. 60 lbs oil cold, driving 40 warm driving. 20 at idle. I am hoping to post pics later. It is rusty, but I like it, and have new (used) fenders for it. I replaced the floors, trunk was good. Gas tank is beyond any repair, so I have the "trunk" model. I will drive it a bit more, but here in Ohio I am thinking salt pretty quick. I will start fixing a bit at a time this winter. I am hoping to hit a meet or two next year. looking to meet some of you then.

Stuff like this sure makes me happy!
Get it going, out on the road good enough... breathe...!
Then back to reality & fix the rest in time, & guess what? ("what?") ...it comes new time all the time!!!
I'm doing the same; my Josephine looks awful in many peoples opinion but give me some more time... or don't, it'll come anyway!

I have a gas tank I removed from a '60 Lark before I understood that the leak was the gasket between the sensor and the tank. I'm within a couple of hours of Galion. Price negotiable.Comment
