Figure I'll run her for about 20 minutes tomorrow after putting the new parts on and filling her with the antifreeze mix just to make sure it is mixed well and all throughout the coolant system.

He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
