Hey Terry I can relate.
I do about the same thing with my Hornet every year. Last year I put new tires on it, got a new radiator, fixed tranny. I have a laundry list of other things I need to do to it, but one step at a time. I have mine in my garage and let it hive up until about this time of year. I hope to put the insurance back on it soon as soon as more salt sand is off the roads.
With a little tlc I will be driving it all over. I put 4000 miles on it last year.
I still havent straightened out the steering wheel from being hit by a Subaru 3 years ago.
Its frustrating but it is also fun. It's
worth it just seeing the lokks on peoples faces when I drive it. Summers coming Luke

Dang Doc. I had almost forgotten about my gas tank. I put the lag bolts in, the washers and then I went over them with the tank seal and it stopped the leaks. I did find a place close to home that will fix the leaks in it for a fair price. That is the whole problem I have with my Gremlin every year. I have all these plans but I have to store it in a garage about 15 miles from my house in the winter. The garage doesn't have any electricity or heat. Now the weather is pretty and I am ready to get
it out and start driving it again and taking it to shows. I will do like I do every year. I will bring it home, give it a bath, change the oil and talk about all the things I need and want to do to it. Then I will cuss and cry when something like the gas tank breaks because I patched it instead of fixing it right. Someday if I every get rid of my mothers old house and get me a garage here at my house things will change. Then I am getting old I might die first. Then the Gremlin will end up with one of my kids who will just drive it to death and it will end up in a grave yard. I am going to shut up I am depressing myself.

Wish me look that it goes
