Notes:

There's 3" burn mark on rear floor carpet at drive shaft tunnel - the muffler shop did this when removing the old exhaust system :-(

Car has not been driven since last summer - and would not start the other day when I took these photos. Probably just need to drain carburetors and put in fresh gas, but it's still too cold here to work on it.
