Waking up a Sleeping Beauty, 1934 5 window

[The Art Doctor]

Hi Y'all, I'm Larry. During the day I restore artwork for museums and private collectors in the greater southeastern united states. By night and weekend I tinker with old cars for fun. I already had too many cars but when a close V8 club friend passed away recently I was given the opportunity to acquire his car I decided to stretch and add it to my "fleet". According to the paper work I have the car was restored in April of 1977 by a Kenneth Jolly. Anyone know of him? In 1977 it was sold to a Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Rivers who showed it around the Cartersville, GA area and won its last First Place trophy in June of 1987 scoring 200 out of 200 possible points. The car was bought in February 1988 with 2800 miles on the restoration to my friend Bruce for $9000. Bruce had a '50's MG he drove regularly while the '34 sat with one issue or another. It was never reliable and often would leave him stranded. 15 years ago he had some work done to prepare it for one of his daughters weddings. It made that event but again left him stranded shortly thereafter. In the 37 years Bruce had it was garaged nearly the whole time as he drove it only 946 miles. The car is factory stock, mechanical brakes, 6V, bias plys and all. The exterior paint is a respray that is cracked, scratched and mold spotted and the interior appears to be mostly original and slightly worn and bug eaten. I will have tons of questions and need lots of additional advice. My local V8 group is shrinking and hardly anybody actually can still drive an old car let alone works on their cars. Enough chatting here are a few pics.
