Almost all of the original parts were in boxes inside the car. When I cleaned it out 5 years ago, I stacked all the parts on pallets in the barn. Those 2 trumpet horns brought $500 on ebay!

More parts laying on the ground in the barn. This is some of the seat frames.

As impossible as it sounds, the inner tubes actually held air! This is a mini air compressor running off my truck's lighter. This front right tire went down after 30 minutes, but the back 2 tires stayed up. The front left tire went down pretty quick, though.

The front grill is going to need some work!

The trailer is in position. My cousin Scott, on the left, helped me get the chains ready. Thanks for everything, Scott!!

I thought we could ratchet the car up the ramps with a come-along, but the flat front left tire made it too hard.

Time for plan B! We used my grandfather's tractor to lift the front end and pull it out. There was a trailer hitch dolly thing bolted to the front frame rails. We wrapped a chain through that, and around the tractor bucket to get the flat tires off the ground.

The tractor worked pretty good, we just had to be very careful not to hit the walls of the barn with the car.

The car gets its first splash of sunlight in 25 years! Next step, pulling it up on the trailer. The camera memory filled up, and I was too busy to download, so the next page you see is the car on the trailer.
