Mr Laws with his pipe spreader so the tailpipe chrome fits snug. We had to cut off a portion to look better.

Other details. We found the original dipstick in a box from 10 years ago. We forgot what it looked like. Thanks to Mr Mayo, we knew what to look for. It is different from the regular stick as this car had factory air and a different oil cap/spout secondary to the air conditioning compressor.

Very happy for you George, it's been a long hard road. I got your video of the start, thank you, now just one more thing, reverse the wiper arms, straight arm is in front of driver, bent arm is for the right side.

Is that an AC oil filler neck and dip stick? We’re here to help.
Thanks Mr Mayo as always and this had factory air.

Finally on terra firma !! Mr Laws moved the car and actually shifted into first and reverse !! He is tuning the car and moved over to side door to exhaust her fumes !!
