Keep the updates coming!  I am working on getting my '59 Bugeye running
after sitting idle and need all the inspiration I can get.  Great video of
hoisting the bonnet into the loft.

I used a leaf blower to blow the detritus out of the car. My first task was=
 to see if the engine is frozen or if it can turn over (by hand). I took th=
e spark plugs out (breaking one with my non-rubber-cushioned socket) and po=
ured some ATF into the cylinders and sprayed some PB Blaster into the spark=
 plug holes. Fastforward 3 days; rocking the car in gear shows some movemen=
t of the crankshaft pulley, so I&#39;m thinking the engine isn&#39;t frozen=
. Next step is to get a battery hooked up, spritz some gas into the carbs a=
nd see if it&#39;ll fire. <br>
<br>
Spark plugs: I went on-line to see who had what. Most of them doubled in pr=
ice with shipping. But I found one locally - at Home Depot, in their lawn m=
ower parts! Champion-made Eco-Clean RN9YC. We&#39;ll see if it works.<br>
<br>
Lastly, banging one&#39;s head on the bonnet gets old quick, so I took the =
bonnet off and set it aside. I&#39;m blessed with a barn with a loft. Stori=
ng the bonnet meant getting if from the car bay and up into the loft. My Wa=
