:) It'll be a learning experience. But hey, it could be worse. My 2nd project 
car was a '71 Chevelle Malibu. Drove it home... with... no front brakes, rear 
drums w/no power (and badly in need of a rebuild), and it wouldn't idle so at 
lights you had to put it in neutral and rev it, and drop it in gear real 
quick when the light changed. :) When I got home we found that the front 
brakes were toast and totally disconnected ta boot, the rear brakes were in 
really bad shape, and the engine had 3 spun bearings. :) But we still got it 
home. 
 
MR>  BTW, what size engine does this thing have, and if things come to    
MR>    worse, will it fit in the bay of a 64 Fairlane? 
 
I dunno what all size engines those monsters had. I know there's a 500 incher 
in one of the models, and you could fit it in a Honda Civic if you wanted to 
badly enough. :)
