The Ford Barn

Finally pulled the front clip off the 47 buisness today with the help of a friend, so I got up the nerve to try and free up the 59AB from a car that has been sitting outside in the Alaskan winters for the last 46 years, after soaking with MMO for 5 months and I put the socket wrench on it and miraculously it turned over! Not only that the water pumps also spun as well.
Patience is a virtue, and it pays to not rush things on these old motors, it took me over six months to free a Willys-Knight sleeve valve engine that had been sitting for 20 years.
I am a firm believer in Marvel Mystery Oil!
