This past weekend, I spent some time unburying the LeMans. The engine hadn’t seen the light of day for many, many years, and I had no idea what to expect. My fear was mice had made nests and chewed up hoses and wires. I did NOT want to have to spend hours cleaning and rewiring. It took a few minutes to remove the stuff that covered the hood. The hood opened easily (no seized hinges, hurray) and the only evidence of unwanted guests I could find was a small nest on the ledge ahead of the radiator and some chewed wires on the harness that powers the front lights and horn.
A while back a Corvair friend passed away, and I helped liquidate the hoard he’d amassed. In repayment for my time and efforts, his widow told me to take something, and I chose this set of Fenton Hustler III wheels (two 14X6 and two 14X7). These will go on the LeMans, and I’ve settled on General Altimax RT43 tires - 205/70-14 for the front and 225/70-14 for the rears. I decided to go with blackwalls without raised white letters, but that could change up until I place my TireRack order. I'll be looking at the lower photos a few times before I pull the trigger.
