Looks great Joe... Nothing like #7 on a single stage paint

Thanks for the compliments.

Joe tell me about the trans fluid soaking the cylinders what does that do?

[Superior Shine]

It is possible for the piston rings to be rusted to the cylinder wall. Trans fluid would break it free and add a little lubrication for start up.

I 'd hate to break have broken a piston ring !

Here is the latest pic of my Riv.....

This was taken about 5 o'clock in the afternoon on a cloudy day with a cheap point and shoot 5.0 mega-pixel camera.

Kind of looks like a studio shot.

Nice Joe.

I like the old brickwork for the background too.

After reading your post on how you obtained this beautiful example of what the Big 3 used to produce, I was just thinking that recently, cars in "used" condition have been bringing in more money at auctions then completely or even partially restored cars.

I have read an article several months ago that a "barn find" in original shabby condition- seats rotted, paint missing, rusted, brought in more bids then a restored counterpart.
