Yes, I'll get some pics. I ran out of time today. I'm also going to get her on jack stands and check the ratio/Sure Grip. She's supposed to have a 3.91 Sure Grip.

I'm hoping to get pics of the Build Sheet and find out if she will turn over with a socket tonight.

She's not locked up. Here's the Build Sheet pics.

More pics...I've got a couple more, but not sure if they're duplicates.

I've NEVER had a Build Sheet in this shape.
She's too low with the flat tires to get a floor jack under her. I'll bring my air compressor tomorrow. I was also going to grab a battery & see if she'll turn over with the key-is that a bad idea or not?

Shouldn't be too big a deal to try to turn it over. You wanna make sure your not sucking too much bad gas into the carb as that will make it harder to get started.
That build sheet is in great condition! I've not had one that nice. Sweet find!
Take it out, make 5 copies and stuff em back into other seats and locations. Make sure it goes with the car. Put it into a non acidic plastic sleeve.
You can now get an accurate fender tag made with the build sheet. That sheet might save that car from becoming a parts car. But, depends on who buys it really.

I was going to disconnect the pump to carb line before I tried to crank her over. How do I get the Build Sheet out of the springs w/o tearing it up ?

If that build sheet is brittle, it might tear apart if you try to get it out. If you are going to sell the car anyway, I wouldn't mess with it.

have a second person help you. One person to raise the springs and another to carefully slide it out.
Same in return. Put one in each seat when you reinstall the seats.

Ok... and as soon as I get some of the other information today, I'll post it.

I wasn't able to get the right rear tire off. One of the wheel studs stripped out in the axle? It moves in & out, and just spins. My jack stands were too tall to fit under the frame. I did take some pics, not sure how helpful they'll be. She does have 489 Sure Grip. I didn't try and figure the ratio. When I plugged the battery in, the fusable link started smoking & got hot.
