Tom,
Despite the 12 year age difference from my well-worn 250 and lack of power steering and disc brakes, I've really enjoyed driving 'Miss Daisy'. She feels more responsive with the manual trans. (A friend once told me "these cars feel 500 pounds lighter with a stickshift!") I'm planning to repair as much of the rockers and underbody as possible myself and try to treat the inner fenders and doors with heavy oil to slow, if not stop, the dreaded tinworm. 12 years ago I poured 90 wt. gear oil into the inner cavities of my 1972 250 rear fenders. The fender seams over the back tires were just starting to swell with rust and, while the floors and trunk have since rusted badly, the rear wheel openings have remained intact.
I'll have to borrow my brothers' computer as my Web-Tv precludes posting photos.

Happy Motoring, Mark
