July 19, 200619 yr Author Update:New starter batteryNew fuel filters (car has 2)New fuel linesNew link fusesgas + fuel stabilNew thermostat New oil capAntifreezeOil and filterTotal of ~$130Carberator is leaking gas behind the carb. It was dark so I couldn't tell if it was the gasket or something else. Should be a fairly quick and reasonably priced fix.Just scored a fully intact stock air intake for $40 on egay Getting some pics on a fully intact front bumper. I have friends who say they know where to get bumpers and fenders, so I may hold off on buying it.New total of $170 in parts...$100 in towing. I need to buy a trailor.
July 19, 200619 yr got watermelon farms near you?we picked a little 4'x8' flat bed with a flat tire off of a local farmer for $100. $50 for a new tire and rim and it is good to go.
July 19, 200619 yr 4'x8' should handle a 'rex too. maybe not the suspension/axle. But dimetion wise.28 cynder blocks and 6 40lbs bags of top soil and we blew the bead on the tire with the last bag.that is ~ 1400lbs i think
July 19, 200619 yr Author Car is 1300lbs + 700-800 in equipment. I need a car trailor that my truck can also handle. I am going shopping for one asap.
July 19, 200619 yr worse comes to worse you could build one for less than $500 if you are a decent welder and have acess to a good MIG if you need it made out of aluminum t osave weight or just Heli Arc if you can use steel.What truck do you have?Also, if you build it from steel dont use galvanized steel. it'll make you sick as a dog. Just take the time to paint it afterwards

I had to always use a tow dolley.

July 21, 200619 yr Author wow, that really is a rat's nest of vacuum hoses lolatleast it's running now<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Its terrible. Still need to get the gas leak looked at. It has gotten worse.
July 23, 200619 yr Author Bathtub sealer FTW.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Please elaborate. I dont really understand.
July 23, 200619 yr Author Its either on the carb gasket or in the gasket to this thing. Still trying to find what it is in my manual. Its not leaking at the top, but at the bottom where the arm extends into the carb.Little better pic...
