Looking at your first picture, what's going on with the intake manifold? Is that some kind of dual carb setup?

I scratched my head about the same thing.
At "only" 0.060 over, you've done well with the engine.

Think it's a standard as the windshield is taller and no cowl light mounting holes.

[QUOTE=SeaSlugs;1618731]Oh for sure - how many 80's cars and 90's cars do you see just sitting around your town overgrown by weeds? I know of several 80's cars and trucks just sitting in shops and barns as someday projects or they were going to fix up and had too good of a deal to not buy it but that was 5+ years ago.[/QUOTE

Nice find but please keep it as a Standard roadster, there aren't many left. i say Standaed because I see no evidence of cowl light holes and it's not likely they would have been plugged and the rust blended in.

Dang cool find, and right in my "back yard". Old PA barns usually still have stuff hiding in them! Good luck with it.

Looks like a very nice start! FYI dont throw anything rusty away under that seat (or what was a seat) you never know when you need one of those special brackets (also i spy end of spedometer cable, and a landau bar) Whats the odometer read?
