Another one found we will call it the Henry's Dart

[1 Wild R/T]

I gave Henry a bath, cleaned up nice. Tried a little wax on a small section. A little brown color came off on the rag. But shined up real nice and smooth. I think that means it's an old laqaur paint job.

Any Single stage paint will transfer color to the rags while waxing... My bet is Acrylic Enamel.... Looking Good!

BTW, Why Henry's? Cause it's Really Really GOOD!! If you haven't tried it you should... Kinda hard to find, Kinda pricy when ya find it but GOOD!

Wasn't it Coors Brewing Company ?

Named for
Henry Weinhard's another of the brewing co.'s 'Dark Coors' beer fame

I think they made it,
& the 'sodas' originally in the depression era & probation era
when they couldn't brew beer "legally"

I seem to remember doing a Tour in the Gloden Co. Coors brewery
when attending the Mile High MoPar Nationals, during a signing session
I got a couple cases
good stuff

I worked at the Coors Facility, there were many stories about what was made underground during the prohibition era... And actually there are a number of beers that are still semi underground, can't buy them in your typical liquor store & certainly not at a supermarket.. If you happen to be in Golden go to the Table Mountain Inn Grille & Cantina and ask about the special Coors offerings...

Just verified #'s matching engine and trans. Couldn't get a good picture of the engine pad due to the headers. But got a decent Pic of the trans pad.

Time for an update. Dropped the tank. Have full of nasty old gas almost the same color as the car. Going to order a new tank. For some reason there was cans tied wired over the exhaust pipe from the muffler to the tips. Maybe for for sort of heat shield? Don't know never saw anything like it.

Clean primer coated metal above the gas tank.

Put a battery in it. All lights work, won't crank with key. Clutch is stuck. Jumped the starter relay and car moved foward a little. But starter engaged and motor turned. Any recommendations on getting the clutch unstuck. I read about having someone press the clutch and use a putty knife to get it unstuck. Going to try maybe tomorrow.

Get the drive wheels off the ground, axle on jack stands.... Get the engine running... Engine 2000 rpm, Clutch pedal depressed, Abruptly stab the brakes... Release then stab again... Well, assuming the brakes work...

Brakes don't work. Master is bad. Can't even push the brake pedal in. Plan is to get the engine running, then replace clutch, and do a full brake rebuild. Might have to change the order.

My dad used to put can over the pipes if there was an exhaust leak when my parents were 1st married and money was tight.

That looks like a great car. I'll be watching your progress.

Cans over exhaust pipe holes with hose clamps to secure them, were the neighborhood exhaust repair standard.
